Manchester City
Manchester City has every chance of winning the treble this season. They have already taken the first step on this path by winning the EPL title. The second step is to triumph in the FA Cup final. The Citizens had an excellent season in the Premier League. They beat the nearest pursuer, Arsenal, by five points, despite losing points in the last two rounds due to the clinching of the league title.
In addition, it should be noted that soon after the FA Cup final, the Sky Blues will hold another very important match of the season against Inter as part of the decisive match of the European Champions League. Prior to their last two games, Man City was on a 24-match winning streak in all tournaments. The last time they lost was at the beginning of February this year. They lost to Tottenham away in the 22nd round (1-0).
Manchester United
Manchester United are in the Champions League for next season. But that success was achieved through pain and misery. Erik ten Hag’s team took third place, four points ahead of Newcastle and eight ahead of Liverpool.
In their last five matches, Manchester United have won four times and suffered one defeat. Among the defeated teams were Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Fulham, which either did not have the proper motivation or lacked outstanding results. However, the Red Devils have been unstable throughout this season. It is enough to recall at least the hammering defeats against Liverpool with a score of 7-0, against the same Man City (6-3), against Brentford (4-0), as well as against Sevilla (3-0) in the Europa League quarter-finals (second leg) that took away United’s opportunity to compete for the UEL title.
Prediction
Manchester City’s coach will definitely use his best squad in the upcoming match. The Citizens will play at full strength, despite the fact that the Champions League final will take place soon. There is no doubt that Josep Guardiola’s charges will dominate the game, and United will have to rely on counterattacks. Besides, with more skilled players at Manchester City now, the team looks much stronger than United.
