Both Manchester City and Manchester United will travel to the Wembley stadium on Saturday for their FA cup final clash.
The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world. Arsenal are the most successful team in the FA Cup having won it 14 times. Manchester United are actually the second most successful club in this competition. They have won it 12 times.
Manchester United won their first FA cup trophy back in the 1907/08 season against Bristol City. The last time they won the trophy was in 2016 when they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in extra time. Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata scored for Manchester United while Jason Puncheon scored for Crystal Palace.
Louis Van Gaal was the manager who led Manchester United to the FA cup final and secured the trophy. However, he was later sacked two days after winning it and replaced by Jose Mourinho.
Manchester United will be hoping to win their 13th FA cup trophy and close the gap between Arsenal who have 14, but also secure a UEFA Europa league spot for next season because they failed to secure a European Football spot through the Premier league. They finished in the eighth position.
Manchester City may not have as many FA cup trophies as Manchester United do, but they are currently the defending Champions of the competition. Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-1 last year to secure their seventh FA cup trophy.
That was Pep Guardiola's second FA cup trophy with Manchester City.
Manchester City already went down in history as the first English team to win four league titles in a row after they secured the Premier league trophy on the final day of the season with a victory against Westham United. They will be hoping to defeat Manchester United as they did last year and secure their eighth FA cup trophy.
Manchester United will be without Tyrrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount. Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof could make a return to the first team squad.
Ederson Moraes will be the only Manchester City player absent in the FA Cup final.
