City receive quadruple injury boost as Guardiola names starter vs United
Manchester City have a clean bill of health for the FA Cup final vs Manchester United on Saturday after Pep Guardiola had last week cast doubt over four key players.
Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Manuel Akanji and Ruben Dias had missed City's Premier League defeat by Brentford last Sunday and Guardiola had said they were doubtful for the FA Cup final this weekend. However, all four trained this week after two days off, giving the manager a full squad to pick from to face United.
Guardiola also confirmed that cup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega will tokeep his place after starting every FA Cup game this season, meaning Ederson will watch from the bench.
Regarding his goalkeeper selection decision, the manager backed Ortega to cap a fine season as number two.

Guardiola urges squad to avoid United mind games for final
Pep Guardiola is only focussing on winning the FA Cup final vs Manchester United, and has urged his Manchester City players to ignore any thoughts of what winning the final will mean.
United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has declared City the best team in the world in the build-up to the final. However, Guardiola wants the only focus to be on winning the game on the pitch and not to get involved in any mind games from the opposition camp.
City will keep their Treble hopes alive with a win at Wembley, while United are looking to complete a domestic cup double as well as deny City their treble - therefore keeping their own 1999 achievement unequalled. For Guardiola though, the only thing he wants his City players to concentrate on is the football game on Saturday afternoon.
