Wembley Stadium is set to host a riveting Manchester derby as the FA Cup final. Manchester City seeks a successive double triumph, building on their Premier League victory. Manchester United, on the other hand, strives for a win that could bolster their chances of securing a European competition slot.
The FA Cup final will be hosted on Saturday, 25 May 2024 at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The game starts at 15:00 BST, aligning with prior arrangements involving law enforcement, civic entities, and telecast partners. Notably, this schedule intersects with the Rugby Champions Cup final broadcast on ITV.
Those interested in watching the forthcoming FA Cup final can do so on ITV1, with coverage starting from 13:45. Alternatively, the ITVX platform—accessible via website and app—provides a live streaming option. Online, a live blog offering regular updates will be hosted by Standard Sport.
Manchester City will enter the game in the absence of first-choice goalkeeper Ederson. Stefan Ortega will start in his place. The likes of Nathan Ake and Mateo Kovacic are fit and available, however, would most probably come from the bench similar to their roles during the final game league game against West Ham.
Manchester United will welcome back Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, bolstering their defence after recent ailments. Fitness assessments are underway for Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw, with hopes of featuring in the matchday squad. Anthony Martial’s will remain out.
Manager Erik ten Hag started with a 4-2-2-2 setup against Brighton as Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay played in a more advanced midfield role. However, Rasmus Hojlund or Marcus Rashford might start this game given the stature of the occasion.
The FA Cup final is set to be a final chapter in the annals of Manchester rivalry, a stage where City’s quest for back-to-back doubles meets United’s endeavours for European contention.
