The midfielder, widely regarded as City’s greatest-ever player, will be looking to win his eighth major domestic trophy since joining the Club in the summer of 2010.
And although he is expecting a difficult game against a Chelsea side full of attacking quality, he says he’s desperate to add another title to his growing list.
“It’s another chance to win a title,” he says. “And it’s always beautiful to play a final at Wembley, for our fans as well.
“Hopefully, we can win it.
“A final is always difficult, whether you play Chelsea or any other team.
“It’ll be tough. They have a lot of quality players up front, so we should take care.”
Silva says he feels fresh, despite his advancing years, but admits he is finding new strategies to keep himself in top condition
“I feel good, to be honest,” he said. “I feel good and I know every day it gets tougher because there’s a lot of games and a high level.
“But I feel fine. I have to take more care, but that’s what I’m doing and I’m feeling good.”
