We simulated Man City vs Manchester United to see who could win FA Cup final - penalty drama followed
25.05.2024 - 09:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
For the second year in a row, Manchester City and Manchester United will go head to head in the FA Cup final.
The two Manchester rivals have had very different seasons, with City winning the Premier League after another impressive campaign while United finished eighth in the league table. It's looking likely that the FA Cup final could be Erik ten Hag's final match as United manager, where victory for United would see them qualify for next season's Europa League.
The previous FA Cup final saw City beat United 2-1 at Wembley, with Ilkay Gundogan scoring twice to win one of three trophies for Pep Guardiola's side last season. Ten Hag's side didn't prove a match for City in either Premier League meeting earlier this season, with Guardiola's side winning 3-0 at Old Trafford before the 3-1 victory at the Etihad.

So, could City pick up their second trophy of the season, or will Ten Hag win his second trophy as United manager? Let's take a look.
To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated both squads with the latest injuries and suspensions. We predict that City could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic, De Bruyne; Silva, Haaland, Foden.
We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Garnacho, Hojlund, Rashford.
City were in full control during the first half at Wembley, with Andre Onana on top form to keep the score level as he made seven saves in the opening 40 minutes.
