Condemned to the shadows of Manchester City in recent years, Manchester United will be praying for a statement response when they meet their fierce rivals in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola’s side secured a record-breaking fourth straight Premier League title on Sunday following their 3-1 victory over West Ham to pip Arsenal to top-flight glory. Man City became the first English side to go four in a row in England’s top flight competition, with this their chance to grasp another double under their Catalan mastermind.

It is an entirely different story for Man Utd, whose manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly under pressure to produce a battling performance – at the very least – at the end of a disappointing campaign in which they finished eighth in the Premier League table.

MEGAPARI is giving you the BEST ODDS and possible returns on this exciting match and on other premier league games this weekend as well. 

Indeed, after their underwhelming conclusion in league competition, Man Utd are the lowest-ranked side to play in the FA Cup showpiece since Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 in 2020.

There have been six previous occasions of a side finishing eighth or lower facing that season’s champions in the final – Aston Villa (10th) beat Manchester United 2-1 in 1957, but since then such sides have lost all five finals by an aggregate score of 15-0.

Here are the odds from MEGAPARI! 

Man City: 1.33
Draw: 6.36
Man Utd: 10.3

Prediction: 

This match is a repeat of last year’s final, where City beat United 2-1 to complete the second part of their league, FA Cup and Champions League treble. Gündogan, now of Barcelona, scored a decisive double as Bruno Fernandes cancelled the German’s quickfire opener with a first-half penalty.

Plus City have already beaten Man Utd twice this season and are clear favorites for another win here to deliver an eighth FA Cup trophy. 

Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United 

Predicted Line-ups 

Man City: Ortega, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Haaland.
