Man City XI vs Manchester United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for FA Cup final today

Manchester City are almost full strength heading into today’s FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to defend yet another of their crowns, having last week won an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.

City conquered their rivals in the final last year too, winning 2-1 at Wembley and are strong favourites to do so again.

Following up last year’s treble with a double would be another indication of the relentless pursuit of excellence that has so far defined the Guardiola era.

The league champions’ manager confirmed on Friday that they have almost their full squad available, albeit goalkeeper Ederson will miss out after a facial injury sustained against Tottenham earlier this month.

Stefan Ortega deputises, having impressed in the Spurs game.

Nathan Ake and Jack Grealish are fit too, the former starting and the latter on the bench, meaning Guardiola has almost a full squad available for the trip to Wembley.
