On Saturday, Manchester United and Manchester City will square off in the FA Cup final, with one club hoping to make more history and the other trying to turn around a dismal campaign.
Pep Guardiola’s City hopes to add to their title victory from Sunday by winning both the Premier League and the FA Cup domestic double in front of a sold-out Wembley crowd.
United’s lowest Premier League result has raised questions about manager Erik ten Hag’s future, and some of their supporters are “dreading” the championship game as they prepare to play in the national stadium.
Ten Hag’s team placed eighth in the standings, trailing winner City by 31 points. A victory would guarantee their spot in the European competition the following year.
After two Fifa Club World Cup games in Saudi Arabia and the Uefa Super Cup in Greece, this is City’s 58th game of the season.
