## World Cup winner

> Having made more than 100 appearances for Crystal Palace and now a regular captain of the side, Marc Guéhi has matured well beyond his years since moving to south London.

He joined Palace in summer 2021, signing a five-year contract with the club, and committing his services until summer 2026.

Guéhi was born in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and moved to England aged one. He spent much of his early years in Lewisham and began his youth career with Bromley-based Cray Wanderers.

It didn’t take long for Guéhi to attract attention and, aged just seven, he was scouted by Chelsea.

Progressing over the following decade with the Blues, Guéhi did enough to stay at the club year on year and reaped the rewards with an immensely successful peer group.

Winning the treble with the Blues’ Under-18s in 2016/17, Guéhi signed his first professional contract in September 2017 and went on to help Chelsea scoop the quadruple – including the FA Youth Cup and league – that same season.

Guéhi’s Academy team helped to reinforce Chelsea’s image as one of the fiercest youth sides in England, as the centre-back played alongside the likes of Reece James, Tariq Lamptey, Billy Gilmour, Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

But it wasn’t just at club level where Guéhi enjoyed success with a noteworthy youth team, as the teenager won the Under-17 World Cup with England in 2017. Indeed, Guéhi captained the Young Lions to the U17 European Championship final that same year and scored in the World Cup final just months later.

These performances ensured Guéhi was rewarded with a taste of first-team football, and he began to be named in Chelsea squads in spring 2019 – being a senior substitute on four occasions in 18/19.

His breakthrough came in the League Cup against Grimsby Town as the Blues stormed to a 7-1 victory with Guéhi in the backline. He again earned professional minutes for Chelsea in a fourth-round defeat against Manchester United, and secured a loan move to Swansea City shortly after.

Guéhi fought to secure his place over a half-season with the Swans that was disrupted by the league’s suspension in March. Having returned from the pause, Guéhi played in Swansea’s final five matches and helped to clinch a sixth-place finish.

Play-off heartbreak came for the first of two times as Swansea lost on aggregate to Brentford in the semi-finals, but Guéhi went on to enjoy personal progression the following season regardless.

2020/21 was something of a landmark for the defender, who returned to Swansea on loan for a full campaign and played 45 games. He became recognised as one of the league’s brightest talents and helped Swansea climb further up the table with a fourth-place finish.

Swansea and Guéhi continued to go one better than 19/20 by reaching the play-off final, but football showed its unforgiving side once again as Brentford overcame them for a second time. Guéhi played in every minute of the three play-off matches.

Guéhi describes himself as “strong, comfortable on the ball and hopefully growing to be a leader one day.”

These traits are evident in his play, with the 21-year-old having captained England Under-21s and made himself a mainstay for Swansea despite being one of the squad’s youngest players.

His attitude became clear when a post-match interview with him went viral across social media. Having earned a spot at Wembley and consecutive Man of the Match awards from Sky Sports, Guéhi humbly rebuked the accolades by saying: “The first time I was really surprised. Now I think it’s getting a bit ridiculous! Everyone was fantastic today, to a man. I could name everyone. For me to get this again, I don’t know.”

On the pitch, Guéhi is assertive and vocal, often heard organising his teammates with confidence. This confidence is reflected in his willingness to drive out from the back and distribute possession from relatively high up the pitch.

His first season in south London saw him feature in all but two of the games in 2021/22, making 42 appearances in total. His first goal for the club came in a chaotic 3-3 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor. Guéhi captained the side for the first time against Watford in February 2022, becoming the youngest player to captain the side since Nathaniel Clyne in 2012.

A month later, he earned his first ever call-up to the full England squad and made his debut in a 2-1 win against Switzerland.

Guéhi continued to be a rock at the heart of the Palace defence in 2022/23, forming a formidable partnership with Joachim Andersen. He was nearly ever-present in 22/23, playing in 40 out of a possible 41 games.

The 2023/24 campaign saw Guéhi again continue as a stalwart at the back, though in the latter half of the season he did suffer a knee injury which kept him out for two months. He concluded 23/24 with 29 appearances in all competitions.

He was called up to the England men's senior squad ahead of the 2024 UEFA European Championship and earned his 10th cap for the Three Lions with a solid defensive display and clean sheet against Bosnia and Herzegovina in June 2024.

Guéhi played a huge role at the heart of the England defence in the 2024 UEFA European Championship, playing every single minute he was eligible for as England finished runners-up in the tournament. He managed to to keep two clean sheets and register an assist for Jude Bellingham's sensational last-minute overhead kick against Slovakia in the round of 16.

In 2024/25, Guéhi continued to be one of the first names on the teamsheet and captained the side on a regular basis. He played in 44 games across all competitions, keeping 14 clean sheets, scoring three times and registering two assists. 

Guéhi also made history alongside Palace legend Joel Ward on the 17th May 2025 - going up the famous Wembley steps to lift the FA Cup, after beating Manchester City 1-0 in the final.

Palace will travel to face the National League North side – who play in step six of the English football pyramid – on Saturday afternoon for a 12:15 GMT kick-off at the Leasing.com Stadium, which features an artificial turf.

With that in mind, Glasner confirmed in his pre-match press conference that **Mateta** would remain in London to rest, whilst also confirming that captain **Marc Guéhi** would start the fixture. 

Read on below for the key quotes from the live section of the Manager’s pre-match press conference…

Pre-match Press Conference | Macclesfield (A)

#### On team news for the game…

No one is coming back. **Chris \[Richards\]** is back, but he was in the squad against Aston Villa \[on Wednesday\].

**JP \[Mateta\]** will not travel with us. We’ll give him a rest, not playing on astro. We’ve talked about some issues with his knee. Everything’s under control but we don’t want to risk that he plays on astro and it gets worse, that’s why he stays in London.

*\[Will that be a problem next week?\]* No, I don’t think so.

All others \[from the Villa game\] are fine.

#### On whether captain Marc Guéhi will be in the squad…

Yes, he will start.

#### On defending the FA Cup crown…

We want to win another trophy. This is our approach. It's not defending something, it's winning something.

We can't defend it because we already have won it. This trophy will stay forever in Crystal Palace history books. But it's adding another trophy – that's how we enter the FA Cup.

It’s not now talking about the final. This is the approach, how we enter every single competition: this is how we entered the EFL Cup. We lost in the quarter-finals. This is how we entered the Conference League. We're in the knockout stage.

This is how we enter the FA Cup. But we're just talking about Macclesfield, about the game tomorrow and winning it, and then take it game by game.

Of course, we want to extend the next FA Cup journey as long as possible. But I always say, don't make the second step before the first one.

The first one is now Macclesfield. As I mentioned, Astro and Non-League football. Maybe it's their match of the decade, so this is what we have to accept.

But on the other side, it's clear: if we go there, we have to win there. It depends on us. It depends on our attitude. 

It depends on how we will play. And if we show our standards, we will win.

#### On Saturday’s opponents, Macclesfield…

They’ll be a highly motivated team.

We see the opportunity to represent Macclesfield. They are every single one representing in the whole UK. 5,000 fans, sold out, this will be their motivation.

But as mentioned, whatever their motivation is, if we have the same motivation – to show our game, to show our quality, to take it seriously – then there is no question we will win the game.

But as I mentioned, and we have seen this quite often, things can happen. It's all about us.

The Silkmen, the lowest-ranked side in the competition’s last 64, have reached this stage of the contest having initially entered at the Second Qualifying Round following promotion to the National League North last season.

Macclesfield’s story, to this point, [is quite remarkable](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-previews/get-to-know-macclesfield-fc/) – and who knows what football could throw our way at the Leasing.com Stadium.

Palace might, indeed, take heed: Saturday marks the first meeting between the FA Cup holders and a non-league team since the 2004/05 season – and on that occasion, Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United were held to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford against Conference National side Exeter City, although the Red Devils then won the replay 2-0.

Even more intriguingly, it was Palace themselves who were the last non-league club to eliminate the FA Cup holders – as a Southern League club, knocking out Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 1909. It is a record we will not wish to lose.

**With thanks to statistician Robert Salter [(@socpfc on X](https://x.com/socpfc)), let’s take a look back at some more of the remarkable numbers behind Saturday's contest...**

#### Taking on Tier Six

With this officially being the first time we have ever played a sixth-tier team (as the National Leagues North and South were only formed in 2004), it appears to be our largest difference – in terms of divisions between teams – in our history.

Indeed, our record books appear to show that this is the first time that we, as a top-flight club, have faced a team from the sixth tier.

There is, as always, an edge case: in December 1976, Third Division Palace were drawn away to Enfield in a Second Round tie.

Enfield were in the Isthmian League at the time (having won the league that season), and with the league ranked lower than the Northern and Southern Leagues, the Isthmian League could be considered ‘tier six’ – but, with Palace then in the Third Division themselves, the difference in divisions was less than Saturday's game.

The game was actually played at Selhurst Park after Enfield agreed to move it, and a crowd of 13,570 witnessed a 4-0 win for Palace.

Our last meeting with a tier-five team came in a third-round win at National League outfit Dover Athletic in January 2015, the Eagles triumphing 4-0 on that occasion.

**Courtesy of Robert [(@socpfc](https://x.com/socpfc)), below is a full list of Palace's FA Cup matches against non-league teams since we were elected to the Football League (1920):**

More simply put: it is – stating this with humility, modesty and respect for our opponents fully intended, but to sate our curiosity – the biggest lead Palace appear to have ever had over an opponent in terms of rankings in the Football League ladder. 13th place in the Premier League is 117 league table positions above Macclesfield (14th in National League North).

However, Palace will not be over-confident – in the FA Cup, we have all come to expect the unexpected, and the Silkmen’s journey to this stage has already proven nothing short of sensational.

The Eagles will need to be at their best to win in Cheshire.

As Manager Oliver Glasner stated in his pre-match press conference: “Of course, we want to extend the next FA Cup journey as long as possible. But I always say, don't make the second step before the first one.

“The first one is now Macclesfield. As I mentioned, Astro and Non-League football. Maybe it's their match of the decade, so this is what we have to accept.

“But on the other side, it's clear: if we go there, we have to win there. It depends on our attitude.”
