Man City has dominated the English field for almost a decade. Having just had a great acceleration to finish the Premier League by winning the championship for the third consecutive season, "The Citizens" can completely raise the FA Cup for the 3th time this weekend if they overcome the opponent "no" team of heaven" Man United at "mecca" Wembley.

If Man City's attack power is number 1, then Man United is even the weakest team in the "Big Six" in terms of goals. David de Gea can win the "Golden Glove" title with a record of keeping 17 clean sheets all season, but Man United is still the team to concede the most goals compared to the remaining 5 teams in the top group of the tournament. Of course, it is accompanied by the fact that the "Red Devils" own the worst goal difference - defeat, while Man City is the most superior in this respect.
The contrasting momentum in the final round of the Premier League last weekend did not bring much meaning to either side before the FA Cup final. The "green" man failed at the hands of Brentford in the match that was only procedural. Meanwhile, the "Red Devils" struggled to beat Fulham to find the final 3rd place, even though it had to be sacrificed by forcing the main players, including the injury that was somewhat heavier than expected by Anthony. Martial.
Man City is much more appreciated than neighboring rivals, but Man United's progress this season cannot be underestimated. Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, Man United is having the best version of the past 10 years, since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Even coach Pep Guardiola has to admit that Man United is really formidable and Man City has made the best preparation before the reunion at Wembley on the night of 3-6.
The caution of coach Pep Guardiola is not superfluous, especially when looking back at the encounters between the two sides in recent seasons. Probably not many people believe that the two sides are really inconclusive in the last 11 confrontations in all arenas, ie each side won 5 matches and the remaining match had a draw result.
Man City won 6-3 against Man United at the beginning of the season when the play of the "Red Devils" was still unstable. The students of coach Pep Guardiola lost 1-2 in the beginning of 2023 and it was one of the rare failures that made Man City at times almost out of breath when racing for the championship with Arsenal.
In other words, despite being underestimated in many ways compared to Man City in the battle of the night of 3-6, in a specific match, in the cup competition format to compete for the championship, Man United still has a chance for himself. The first is the usual countermeasure in derbies, great battles between opponents who are too familiar with each other.
The depth of the force is unmatched, the attack power is not stronger, but Man United has the motivation to win the cup, not to mention the desire to compete with the "uncommon" opponent, enough for them to confidently do it. surprise. In a day of sublimation and best form, teachers and coaches Erik ten Hag can completely make the Premier League champions hate at the end of the 2022-2023 season.
Bruno Fernandes threatened to ruin Man City's goal of winning the "triple". Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola owns "heavy weapons" like Erling Haaland - Julian Alvarez and the launching pad for this pair of strikers is the "super" midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan.
