Why Marc Guehi Can Play for Man City in FA Cup Final Despite Palace Appearance

Marc Guehi is eligible to play for Manchester City in the FA Cup final, despite having already represented Crystal Palace in the competition this season. The defender featured for Palace in the FA Cup earlier in the campaign before his January transfer to City.

According to FA Cup rules, a player who has played for one club in the competition can still feature for another club in later rounds, provided the transfer occurred before the third round. Guehi's move to City was completed within that window, making him available for the final.

This rule has been a topic of discussion among fans, as it allows players to switch clubs mid-season and still participate in the latter stages of the cup. Guehi's potential involvement adds depth to City's defensive options for the showpiece event.
