The Blues take on Manchester City at Wembley looking to win their first domestic trophy since 2018 under Antonio Conte.<\/p>\n

Chelsea without doubt will be the underdogs on the day, but in a one off game the Blues have proven they can pull out a performance.<\/p>\n

Calum McFarlane gives Neto and Garnacho FA Cup final update<\/h2>\n

Chelsea produced an improved display in Saturday\u2019s 1-1 draw against Liverpool, with Levi Colwill starting his first game since the Club World Cup final last summer.<\/p>\n

The Blues had to field a makeshift line-up as they had no senior wingers fit, whilst academy star Ryan Kavuma McQueen was left on the bench.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have been without Neto and Garnacho for the last two games, and with less than a week until the final McFarlane has provided an update.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, we\u2019re very hopeful,\u201d McFarlane told Chelsea\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to take these things day by day. We\u2019re hoping that they\u2019ll be available, but you don\u2019t know at this moment in time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re going to get back into training (next week), see how they feel, see how it looks. So fingers crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neto has scored ten goals and produced eight assists in 49 appearances this season, whilst Garnacho has eight goals and four assists in 41 appearances.<\/p>\n
