It's another derby day in Manchester as we look forward to two rival clubs playing in the FA Cup final. We have made available some possible outcomes for the game between Manchester City and Manchester United.

Manchester City has been recently confirmed the winners of the Premier League and are currently gunning for two other trophies to make it a treble, therefore, matching United’s 1999 record. 

Manchester City's unbeaten run ended on the last day of the Premier League but they have won seven of their last ten games in all competitions.

Manchester United on the other hand are aiming for their second trophy this season after lifting the Carabao Cup in February. They will also be looking to halt City from winning the treble and matching their records.

United are currently on a good run and have won four games in a row leading to the final. They have also won five games in their last ten in all competitions.

Over 2.5 goals

Manchester City has scored in nine of their last ten games and have played over 2.5 goals in six of those ten games while Manchester United have also scored in six of their last ten games and played this outcome in four of those ten games. 

Both teams have also played over 2.5 goals in three of their last meetings and we predict at least three or more goals in this game.

Manchester United to lift the trophy

Manchester United have always found it hard against City in recent games and have won only two of their last six games against them. 

Their current form is good, winning their last four games in a row which is a good boost of confidence for them heading to the final.

City on the other hand are also in good form having gone on a great run of wins before losing to Brentford on the final day of the season. However, we have tipped United to lift the trophy even though we expect a very challenging contest.
