City defence should stand firm at Wembley
Manchester City have not conceded a single goal in this season's FA Cup and they can rack up a sixth straight win to nil in the competition against Manchester United in Saturday's final.
City's defensive record is particularly impressive given that they faced Chelsea and Arsenal in their first two cup ties before thumping Championship opponents Bristol City, Burnley and Sheffield United by an aggregate score of 12-0 in the subsequent three rounds.
Pep Guardiola's side have kept some of the best attacks in Europe quiet during their run to the Champions League final, conceding only five goals in ten meetings with Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
United are missing injured striker Anthony Martial, who scored twice in October's 6-3 league defeat at City, and they may struggle to break down the champions at Wembley.

Foden can follow up derby hat-trick
All eyes are on Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who scored a hat-trick on his Manchester derby debut in October, but team-mate Phil Foden could be a better bet to be the first goalscorer on Saturday.
Fitness doubts over City stars Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish may mean another start for Foden who, like Haaland, notched a hat-trick in the autumn rout of the Red Devils at the Etihad Stadium.
The England midfielder scored 11 goals in just 22 Premier League starts this term, also finding the net three times in three FA Cup starts, and he finished the league campaign with impressive performances against Chelsea and Brighton.

Shaw may struggle to stay out of trouble
The match betting suggests City are likely to dominate the play at Wembley so United's defenders can expect a difficult afternoon.
Luke Shaw missed the Red Devils' final league fixture against Fulham but should start the cup final and the England left-back could find himself in the firing line against City's slick attackers.
Shaw was booked in the EFL Cup final against Newcastle in February and has picked up eight yellow cards in his last 14 appearances, including England's Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy in Naples, where he was sent off for two bookable offences.

FA Cup Final Preview: Man City vs Man United
Manchester City head into today's game against rivals Man United knowing that a win will put them just one game away from an elusive treble.
City will join United as the only English side to accomplish this feat should they manage to do so, thus you can imagine how desperate United will be to win today to avoid this happening.
The Red Devils are on the hunt for their second major trophy of the season after beating Newcastle in the League Cup final back in February, with a win today solidifying Erik ten Hag's first season at the club as a success.
City are firm favourites to win the final today, something that's expected given how strong they've been so far this campaign.
Pep Guardiola's side ended up winning the Premier League fairly comfortably in the end following a strong end to their campaign, with City going into today's game having won 20 of their last 26 outings.
They've lost just once during that time, with this coming against Brentford on the final day of the PL season, a loss we're sure they won't be taking to heat given the league title was already wrapped up at that point.
United are in fairly good form themselves, with ten Hag's side losing just four games since the beginning of April, form that's seen them finish third in the Premier League and reach today's final.
Given the history City and United have with each other, expect today's game to be a fiery encounter, as United try their best to stop City from matching their 1998/99 by winning the treble.
