Manchester City will face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 16 at Wembley Stadium. This will be City's 15th appearance in the FA Cup final, a joint fourth record in English football history. City's first FA Cup win was in 1904, when they beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0, with Billy Meredith scoring the only goal. The team has experienced both highs and lows in their previous FA Cup finals, including a loss to Bolton Wanderers in 1926 and back-to-back finals in 1933 and 1934, losing to Everton in 1933 but winning against Portsmouth in 1934. City's goalkeeper Frank Swift fainted after the 1934 win, prompting King George V to send a telegram to enquire about his health.
