Manchester City vs Manchester United live stream: match preview
Both sides of Manchester will descend on Wembley today as Manchester United and Manchester City go head-to-head in the 2023 FA Cup final.
With the Premier League title already secured, Manchester City are on course to win an historic treble this season – and next on the list is the oldest cup competition in the world. Pep Guardiola's side booked their place in the final with a convincing 3-0 win over Sheffield United at the end of April. Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring from the spot just before the break, before adding two more in the second half – the first hat-trick in an FA Cup semi-final in 65 years. Can they make it two out of three trophies here today?
Guardiola rested a lot of players for City's final Premier League game against Brentford, so there are 10 changes to the side today, with only Kyle Walker keeping his place. Ortega gets to start in goal, but apart from that it looks like City's strongest XI, with Haaland, De Bruyne, Grealish, Rodrigo and Dias all starting.
It took extra time and penalties for the Red Devils to set up this high-stakes Manchester derby, with Brighton taking them all the way in a rain-soaked semi-final. Both sides had chances to win it, but the goalkeepers were on fine form – at least until it came to the penalty shootout. Neither managed to make a save, so when Solly March put his effort high over the bar for Brighton, Victor Lindelof stepped up to score the decisive spot-kick. United have already lifted silverware of their own this season, beating Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, and they'd love to repeat the feat here today – if only to stop City from equalling their treble triumph of 1999.
There are four changes to the United side that beat Fulham on the final day, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw replacing Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia in the back four, while Christian Eriksen comes in for Alejandro Garnacho.
