FA Cup final on TV: Watch Man City v Man United on BBC One

Must read

Manchester City and Manchester United meet in the FA Cup final for the second successive season on Saturday (15:00 BST kick-off) – a match you can watch live on BBC One.

Pep Guardiola’s City defeated their neighbours 2-1 in last season’s final on their way to a Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup Treble.

City will clinch a domestic double if they beat United this weekend after being crowned Premier League champions for a historic fourth season in a row.

United, who finished 31 points behind City in the table, must win to secure a place in Europe next season.

Erik ten Hag’s side finished outside the European places in eighth spot but will qualify for the Europa League if they are FA Cup winners.

City are looking to become the first club to win back-to-back FA Cups since Arsenal in 2013-14 and 2014-15.

United have won the competition 12 times – five more than City – but their last triumph was in 2016.

There will be 30 minutes of extra time if necessary and penalties if the scores are still level.

This is the first time since 1885 that the FA Cup final will be contested by the same two clubs in consecutive years.
