For the second successive season, Manchester City and Manchester United will meet in the FA Cup Final, in what is always one of the most hotly contested fixtures of the season. City bagged the Premier League last weekend and are clicking into gear when it matters as they always do under Pep Guardiola. United meanwhile have endured a poor campaign, but they can salvage more than a silver lining with a FA Cup triumph over City here.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Analysis
This should be an excellent game at Wembley, with drama seemingly guaranteed.
Manchester City
With another Premier League title in the bag, Manchester City are in pursuit of more history, as the blues chase the first ever ‘double, double’. City won the league and FA Cup last season, as well as the small matter of the Champions League and whilst the European gong has gone for this year, domestic dominance remains in their grasp. City have been ticking along nicely of late and the blues will start as firm favourites here.
Team news: Ederson is the key injury absentee for City here.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup:
Stefan Ortega, Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden & Erling Haaland.
Manchester United
Two wins to finish the season wasn’t enough for Manchester United to clinch a European spot next season, which will add to the need for the Red Devils to win this Wembley showcase. It has been a very poor season for Erik ten Hag’s men, but they certainly have the motivation and the fire power to salvage something there. Seldom have United been such underdogs in a one-off game and consequently, they should enjoy playing with absolute freedom.
Team news: Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial are all set to miss out here for United.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Andre Onana, Aaron wan-Bissaka, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Casemiro, Cristian Eriksen, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund & Alejandro Garnacho.
Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction
On league form, there should only be one winner – with City having left United in their wake once again this season. However, FA Cup finals are special occasions and with United having had plenty of fortune to get through to the final, there is a sneaking suspicion that their name is on the trophy this term and how they would love to stop City adding to their collection.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 5/1 (+500) – Rhino Bet.
Manchester City vs Manchester United – The Ultimate Bet
Manchester United lift the trophy – 9/2 (+450) – Fitzdares
It may take a lucky goal, extra time or penalties but Manchester United need something to go their way this season and the FA Cup final could indeed be it.
