‘Aiming for double’ Man City vs ‘Pride must be restored’
Man Utd reveal final derby line-up for ‘second year in a row’
The starting lineups for the final Manchester derby of the season and the English FA Cup final have been revealed.
Manchester City and Manchester United will meet in the 2023-24 English FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on May 25 at 11 p.m. ET. Ahead of the match, both teams have revealed their starting lineups.
Pep Guardiola’s City will start with Ortega, Walker, Stones, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Silva, Foden, and Holland. On the bench, Carson, Dias, Grealish, Dockoo, Alvarez, Akanji, Nunes, Bove, and Luiz.
Eric ten Haag’s United will start with Onana, Amrabat, Martinez, Fernandes, Rashford, Garnacho, Varane, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, Mainu and McTominay. For the visitors, Bayndre, Evans, Kamwala, Lindelof, Diallo, Eriksen, Mount, Anthony and Hoilett are named in the squad.
The two teams met in the FA Cup final for the second consecutive season, with City having the last laugh last season. They defeated United 2-1 on aggregate to lift the trophy, thanks to a multi-goal performance from Ilkay Gundogan.
City is going for a double. They won the Premier League (PL) this season, becoming the first team in league history to win four consecutive titles. In the UEFA Champions 스포츠토토 League (UCL), they were knocked out in the quarterfinals by Real Madrid. They’re looking to bounce back in the FA Cup.
United have been the worst performers this season. They finished the season in eighth place in the PL. In the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup), their journey ended in the round of 16. In the UCL, they suffered a shocking group stage exit.
United finished eighth in the PL, so they won’t be able to qualify for Europe on league form. They will need to win the FA Cup to qualify for Europe 카지노사이트 순위 next season. If United beat City, they will qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season.
Recent history favors City. In the last three games, City have won three. The last time United won a Manchester derby was in January last year, but the FA Cup final is a one-sided affair. There’s a chance that the result will be irrelevant.
