Manchester City are bidding for a double in the FA Cup final.
In a repeat of last year’s FA Cup final, Premier League winners Manchester City and neighbours Manchester United will do battle for glory at Wembley.
It was City’s title 12 months ago as Ilkay Gundogan scored twice, including the fastest goal in an FA Cup Final after just 12 seconds.
Louis Saha had held the record previously after scoring for Everton just 25 seconds into their 2009 final defeat to Chelsea.
City reached the final after a cagey 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the semi-final, while United needed penalties to overcome Championship side Coventry having lost a three-goal lead.
Coventry thought they had reached the final in the dying stages of extra time before Victor Torp’s ‘winner’ was ruled out for offside after a lengthy VAR check.

FA Cup Final Date & TV Channel
The 2024 FA Cup final takes place on Saturday 25th May, broadcast live in the UK on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, ITV1, ITVX, UTV and STV.
FA Cup Final Kick Off Time
The FA Cup final 2024 will kick-off at 3pm after agreements with the clubs, local authority, members of the Safety Advisory Group and broadcasters.
The winners of the final will receive £2,000,000 and the runners up £1,000,000 from the competition’s prize fund.
The FA Cup final had been an early evening event since 2012, with the earliest final before City vs United in last year’s final taking place at 4:45 pm.
Police concerns led to the FA making the change last year – a change upheld for the 2024 final.
