Man City vs Chelsea tips and free bets for FA Cup semi final with talkSPORT BET

MANCHESTER CITY and Chelsea are playing for a spot in the FA Cup final when they meet in a Wembley semi this Saturday.

We've picked out our top tip for the blue contest with talkSPORT BET - who are offering brand new customers a fabulous £30 in free bets when they stake just £10 on football!

It's been a contrasting week of football for these two sides, with Chelsea wrapping up the Premier League weekend in emphatic style on Monday night.

Mauricio Pochettino's men were 6-0 winners over Everton to extend their unbeaten run to eight games - hitting form at exactly the right time.

It was ex-City starlet Cole Palmer who stole the headlines with four goals in that trouncing - could they have done with him on Wednesday night?

Well after their catalogue of poor penalties in the shootout defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League, you'd have to say yes.

City were slow in their build-up and lacked any sort of cutting edge and Madrid dug deep to take the game the whole way and ultimately progress on penalties.

It's the third game in the last six that City have failed to win and they need an upturn in form soon to kick on for the remaining competitions.

TIP

It'd be absolutely no surprise to see Cole Palmer haunt Man City here, particularly with the form he's in.

He's comfortably Chelsea's biggest threat when it comes to making things happen and has 11 goals in his last six games - a phenomenal record.

We've taken a bit of insurance with our pick and opted solely for efforts on target here.

While City have conceded in all of their last five games and we fancy them to start slowly after the midweek exploits. In fact, both sides can get themselves on the scoresheet in the early exchanges.

• Our tip: Cole Palmer 2+ shots on target at 13/8 -

• Our tip: BTTS in the 1st at 29/10 -
