FA Cup Finals: Manchester City vs. Manchester United Preview

Manchester City

The Citizens are the English champs for the fourth time in a row, and that’s something we’ve never seen before. They would beat West Ham in the last round, 3-1, to secure the trophy and cement their domination in the EPL, which is a historical one.

Since losing to Real in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, City went on to win seven games in a row, allowing just two goals throughout the span, while scoring 21 times on the other side.

Phil Foden is the guy who is on fire, and may we say that the English winger is City’s top contributor in the second part of the season. As such, he will present a constant threat to the Red Devils’ shaky backline.

Manchester United

When mentioning United’s defense, there is a piece of positive news. For the first time since early March, this team had provided a clean sheet, and that’s an encouragement ahead of this clash.

We’ve seen their backline allow multiple goals in seven of the previous ten appearances, showing some terrible performances, like in the game against Crystal Palace, when United lost 4-0.

The attack is solid, and we can’t have too many remarks on their displays. United also scored two or more goals in seven of the previous ten games, which is good productivity.

FA Cup Finals: Manchester City vs. Manchester United Predictions

City’s accending form and United’s heavy problems in the back line are two reasons why we take Guardiola’s side to win this battle. The way the champions pressure upfront will certainly force United’s defenders to make certain mistakes, because they did that against much weaker teams.

Our verdict: Manchester City wins
