YOU wait over 150 years for a Manchester derby in the FA Cup final, then two come along at once.

The 2023 FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United, won 2-1 by City thanks to an Ilkay Gundogan brace, was the first-ever meeting between the two historic clubs at this stage of the tournament.

And they’ll do it all again this year, making it the first repeat of the previous year’s final since 1885 when Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park of Scotland contested back-to-back finals, with Blackburn winning on both occasions.
