Last season, in the same fixture, it was Manchester City who won 2-1 and then went on to clinch a historic treble. This season, however, Pep Guardiola and his boys have a chance of winning a domestic double. On the other hand, it would be a golden opportunity for Manchester United to end their dismal campaign with a silverware.

In this season’s semi-final showdown, Manchester City faced a stern test from Chelsea FC, who posed a threat throughout the match. However, an 84th-minute goal by the ‘Portuguese Magician’ Bernardo Silva sealed another final berth for the ‘Sky Blues’.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, after establishing a comprehensive three-goal lead, were stunned by the underdogs, Coventry County, who made an incredible comeback to extend the game to penalties. The might of the Manchester heavyweights once again proved lethal as Manchester United emerged victorious in the penalty shootout.

In recent Manchester derbies, Manchester City has dominated, winning seven out of nine encounters across all competitions. However, Erik Ten Hag’s men have shown decisiveness in crucial games, causing upsets to their opponents. Therefore, this clash is poised to be an encounter for the ages, with both teams giving their all to achieve glory.
