It’s the match we’ve all been waiting for and it’ll bring the curtain down on what has been another spectacular episode from English football. The 2019 FA Cup final will be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday with a 5.00pm start time shown live on BBC, as it has been since the 1937 decider when Sunderland and Preston faced off. Here are our top FA Cup Final betting tips.

This is the best loved knockout football competition in the country and is followed by a worldwide audience, from the early qualifying rounds through to the grand finale, played out in front of a sell-out Wembley Stadium. It’s a real day for the fans and we’re sure both teams will do their bit to ensure this year’s renewal lives up to the hype.

Arsenal Remain Top of the Tree

The history books show us Arsenal remain the tournament’s most successful team on 13 trophies with Blackburn Rovers and Wanderers holding the joint record of three wins in-a-row, something that is yet to be topped. Arsenal and Man Utd have the most FA Cup final appearances on 20 and the biggest win to date was for Blackburn Rovers in 1890 when they thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 6-1.

Manchester City were favourites to lift the trophy from the start and the FA Cup is now all that stands between them and what would be a stunning domestic treble. That will take the sting out of being knocked out of the Champions League by Tottenham at the quarter-final stage as their wait for European dominance continues.

They may get nowhere near winning the Champions League, but English football has dominated the UEFA competitions this year and if City dominate England that will send out a real message of intent for next season. What can we expect from Sunday’s final? Our team of football tipsters and sports betting experts have trawled through the markets before returning with our views on the best value, aimed at helping you bash the bookies.

Man City Priced Like Champions

Bookmakers have priced Manchester City as favourites to win this year’s FA Cup final and the odds at present would have you believe they only need turn up. Of course, we know that’s not true as this is a competition littered with famous upsets, including West Ham’s win over Arsenal at Wembley when The Hammers weren’t given a chance. That was the last time a team form outside of the top-flight won the trophy, but it wasn’t the last time we’ll see the bookies’ odds turned upside down.
