Manchester City and Manchester United have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of today’s FA Cup final at Wembley. It is a rematch of last season’s final where Pep Guardiola’s side famously beat their arch rivals 2-1.
For Manchester City there is a chance to create even more history at Wembley today. If they can beat United and make it back-to-back FA Cup wins they will become the first side in English football history to make it consecutive Premier League/FA Cup doubles. Following on from their fourth consecutive Premier League title last weekend it is another chance for Pep Guardiola’s side to solidify their place as arguably the greatest side in the history of English football. But it will be no easy task as they come up against their arch rival. Erik ten Hag’s side will be determined to claim a piece of silverware this season. They have had a disappointing campaign and would love nothing more than to get one over Manchester City today.
Here are the starting lineups ahead of today’s massive fixture.
