2025 - 51: The FA Cup 2024/25 Final: Crystal Palace v Manchester City

Gary Lineker presents all the action from the final, which comes from Wembley Stadium. Palace are looking to lift the trophy for the first time in their history, having been runners-up to Manchester United in 1990 and 2016, and their impressive 3-0 wins over Fulham and Aston Villa in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively will give them hope. However, they will still go into this match as underdogs against the Citizens, who have endured an otherwise poor campaign by their own lofty standards, but prevailed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the last four to reach their third successive FA Cup final. With analysis from Wayne Rooney and Micah Richards, and commentary by Guy Mowbray and Alan Shearer.
