Manchester City vs Manchester United
English FA Cup
Date: 3 June 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Wembley Stadium (London).

The highly-anticipated FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United will take place at Wembley on Saturday. Although it may only be a single match, the significance of the occasion goes beyond that. For City, the competition is all about their ultimate goal.

Since United is the only English team to have won the treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the European Cup, it has been under threat in recent years. With that in mind, many believe that City can do it this season if they can get through the final of the Champions League and defeat Inter Milan.

With that in mind, it is fitting that United will be the one to have the final say. The match will be the first major final between the two clubs, and it will be Pep Guardiola’s men looking to continue their dominance. On the other hand, Erik ten Hag’s men are hoping to win their second piece of silverware.

In response to the fans’ sentiments about the final and the challenge of chasing a treble, Ten Hag stated that his team would do everything in its capacity to give Manchester City another piece of silverware.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Head to head :

• In the previous derby, Manchester United came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1. This occurred in January this year. The match was held at Old Trafford.
• Prior to that, City had scored ten goals in consecutive victories over United at the Etihad.
• Over 2.5 goals has been seen in each of the past three meetings between these two teams.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction :

Based on what we’ve seen this season, Manchester City is the best team in Europe, but we don’t think that backing them to beat their rival Manchester United would be worth it. Instead, we’ll take the Red Devils.

Under the leadership of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United have been incredibly difficult to break down. They’ve also been keeping clean sheets in every Premier League match this season. We’re not surprised that they’ll be keeping a low-scoring game against their rival. The under 2.5 goals market is currently favored by the punters.

Manchester City possible starting lineup:

Ortega; Walker, Dias, Ake; Stones, Rodri; Bernardo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland

Manchester United possible starting lineup:

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Sancho, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
