FA Cup Final | United (N) - Sat 3rd June 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Cellarite]

My birthday Saturday, season normally long since finished by now so it's a nice treat.

An even nicer one will be giving them an absolute tatering

Hopefully you'll beat my derby day birthday from this season - the 6-3 at home.

I bloody hope we do a 'Watford' on them. 6-0.

I do not I want 7-0 that would be a record

I hope we go one better and get the final scoring record.

Would be bloody hilarious and beautiful to see the "City being disrespectful" headlines after.

City edge Cup final, in 6 goal thriller.

Would not be upset if he gave the nod to Foden over Bernardo on the RHS.

Wildly disagree that Bernardo is better than Foden on the RW. Understand why Bernardo works there, especially in the UCL, but I think Foden could bring a level of directness that will be needed vs United.

Who do they have out mate?
I haven't kept tabs on them!

City:
Akanji, de Bruyne, Dias and Grealish are currently listed as injured

Pep, 28th May; ‘I don't know right now. Hopefully. We have four or five players with niggles, not big injuries, but they are injuries. Ruben, Jack and Kevin couldn't play. It is what it is. I think they will be ready, but it's hard to get ready in training’.


United:
van de Beek, Martinez, Sabitzer and Antony.

Agree - Foden is more likely to take the game to them and make their defenders panic and he's more prolific in terms of goals. I think both are terrific players and have different strengths. Bernardo's ball retention and aggressiveness are great but Phil will worry them if he gets in between them. It's a difficult call - glad I don't have to select the team!

Yeah, I think Bernie just shades it,
Thanatos makes a good point though
