The Sky Blues have won both meetings between the two clubs already this season, and overcame Chelsea in the semi-finals last month to reach a third FA Cup Final of Pep Guardiola’s tenure.

Bernardo Silva scored a late goal in a 1-0 win, with Manchester City having also beaten Premier League outfits Tottenham, Luton Town and Newcastle United during their FA Cup campaign.

Manchester United meanwhile survived an almighty scare in the semi-finals, needing a penalty shoot-out to survive Coventry City’s valiant comeback.
