Manchester City’s history may not be as lucrative as some of English football’s traditional behemoths, but they’re still one of the most successful clubs in the FA Cup.
The Citizens, who were founded in 1880, have a long and arduous history with the competition and have won six of the 11 finals they’ve competed in thus far.
Their recent dominance in the Premier League hasn’t quite carried over to the FA’s premier cup competition, with City only lifting the trophy twice since they started to gain prominence following heavy investment from the Middle East.

Bolton avenged their defeat to City in the 1904 final by beating them in the competition’s showpiece event 22 years later.
This was Bolton’s fourth FA Cup final and second victory after they claimed their first in 1923 following defeats in 1894 and, of course, 1904.
Man City thumped crosstown rivals Man Utd 3-0 in the semi-finals to reach the 1926 final, but they were edged out by a David Jack strike with 14 minutes remaining.
