United fear fast City start

It's been 1399 years since the same two clubs competed in successive cup finals, and Manchester United will be hoping that they don't end up suffering the same fate as Queen's Park.

The historic Scottish football club were beaten by Blackburn Rovers at the Oval in the FA Cup final in both 1884 and 1885, making them their only team to be defeated in back-to-back finals by the same opponent.

And last season's final could not have begun worse for the Red Devils.

Erik ten Hag's team found themselves 1-0 down to their rivals within 12 seconds with Ilkay Gundogan scoring the fastest ever goal in an FA Cup final.

Gundogan later scored a second as City prevailed 2-1 as part of a famous treble.

Reds huge price for 90 minute success

Manchester United have been priced at a whopping 7/1 to beat rivals Manchester City inside 90 minutes of this afternoon's FA Cup Final.

Unthinkable odds 20 years ago, the Red Devils are also 4/1 to lift the trophy via any means including in extra-time or on penalties.

Pep Guardiola's all-conquering City can be found at their now customary odds-on.

To win in 90 minutes:

• Man City win 2/7
• Draw 9/2
• Man Utd win 7/1

To win the FA Cup:

• Man City to lift the trophy 1/7
• Man Utd to lift the trophy 4/1

Ten commandments

Erik ten Hag said "It's fantastic. A cup final. Such a great event. As a kid, you want to take part in this and get a look at it. Everyone is really excited to lift this cup.

"We still have a good opportunity, going to the final is a huge achievement and, if you're in a final you want to win. It's all about trophies and we have an opportunity to lift the cup.

"It's all about winning trophies and, as a result of it, we need to be in Europe and it is our last opportunity."

Pep talk

"I start to think about no-one has done four in a row, why don't we try? And now I feel it's done, so what next? FA Cup. Gary Lineker told me that no team has done back to back Premier Leagues and FA Cups.

"What I want is for my players is to enjoy two or three days and then we have two days to prepare the final but right now I don't know what exactly the motivation is to do it [next season] because it's difficult to find it when everything is done.

"But knowing the players and myself I know that when we are there we will say why should we not win today? Why should we not work as much as possible to do what we have to do? And I know we are going to do it."

Beware of Bruno

As for United, they too have some dangerous options.

Yet Bruno Fernandes will be their talisman once more.

Fantastic Phil Foden

City can strike from anywhere at anytime.

But it’s hard to see Phil Foden having a quiet game after being crowned Premier League Player of the Year.

Man Utd’s recent results

As for United, they ended the season with wins against Newcastle and Brighton.

But before that, they suffered defeats to Crystal Palace and Arsenal, with their defence looking particularly vulnerable.

Man City’s form

Removing their penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid, Man City have not been beaten in 90 minutes by another team in their last 35 matches

They are on a six-game winning run and confidence is high amongst their squad.
