Confirmed XIs: Man City vs Manchester United (FA Cup final)

X starts as Manchester United face Manchester City in the 2023 FA Cup final.

This is the first time the two sides have met in the FA Cup final, with Erik ten Hag looking to win his second trophy of the season.

Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, is looking to secure trophy No. 2 as part of Manchester City‘s attempt to win a historic treble.

Speaking to club media about the final, Erik ten Hag said: “The FA Cup has a big reputation, not only I think in England, but I think in all the world and, over many years, that reputation is historical.

“So I watched as a child, we watched the FA Cup, we stayed home for it. We stopped playing football to watch the FA Cup final, so it means a lot. And I am really looking forward [to it].”

The line-ups for both teams have been confirmed.
