The first ever English FA Cup ‘Manchester Derby’ final is approaching. Manchester United (Man United), the only EPL team to achieve the ‘Treble’ (league, cup competition, Champions League championship), and Manchester City (Man City), who are challenging their stronghold, face each other. Manchester United and Man City will play the 2022-23 season FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in Brent, London, England at 11:00 pm (Korean time) on the 3rd. Manchester United reached the final for the first time in five years since 2018 and Manchester City for the first time in four years since 2019.
For both teams, winning this tournament is important. First of all, Man City is in need of a trophy for the treble. Man City, which has already confirmed the EPL championship, is aiming for a triple crown by winning the cup competition and the UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan to be held at 4 am on the 11th.
So far, there is only one club in the EPL that has succeeded in the treble. It is Manchester United, our final opponent. In the 1998-99 season, Manchester United conquered three competitions with coach Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville, and achieved a great deal. Of course, Manchester United would not want to miss the title of ‘the only England team to win three crowns’. Especially if local rivals Man City are the target. Of course, Man United is expected to go out with full force.
There is another reason why Manchester United should win the FA Cup. Manchester United, who previously reached the top of the Carabao Cup in February, will challenge the simultaneous conquest of two competitions held in England. There were 5 cases in front, but it is the first experience when Manchester United achieves this time. Coincidentally, the last team to succeed was Manchester City in 2019. What lineup will the two teams come out with? The British ‘Man Utd News’ predicted that Manchester United would come out with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Man Utd expected Marcus Rashford as one-top player, Alejandro Garnacho-Bruno Fernandez-Jaden Sancho as attacking midfielder, and Fred and Casemiro as defensive midfielder. David de Gea is in goal.
Against this, Man City is likely to have a 4-3-3 formation. According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester City will have Bernardo Silva-Elling Halan-Jack Grealish up front, and Kevin the Brawiner-Rodri-Ilkay Gundogan at the back. In the rear, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Hubin Dias, and Nathan Ake will come out, and the goalkeeper gloves will be worn by Stefan Ortega.
