Manchester City and Manchester United will clash in the FA Cup for the second season in a row this Saturday, in what will be the last game in the English top division.

After winning the Premier League on Sunday, Pep Guardiola's team is aiming for a double as United try to salvage what has been a disastrous season at Old Trafford. But not only the silverware a lot more will also be at stake for the Red Devils.

United fell short across the board this season, with on-field performances much worse than the previous year. The Old Trafford side finished seventh in the Premier League and were eliminated from the Champions League with little hype. This implies that United's sole chance of reaching Europe next season is to defeat City in the FA Cup final. This achievement would guarantee passage to the Europa League.

Erik ten Hag has blamed his team's poor play this season on injuries, and he is still dealing with them as the season comes to a close. Although Erik ten Hag was bolstered by the return of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Lisandro Martinez in the most recent Premier League game against Brighton, still a lot of first-teamers are still out injured.

Maguire is one of the key defenders who is out injured. However, there is a hope that he could be available for selection against City.

Anthony Martial who is leaving at the end of the season is now fit and is expected to be part of the final team. Mason Mount has also been out injured for the last two games. However, he could be up for selection.

Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw however are competing race against time to be fit. And as per reports, there are very minimal chances for them to feature.
