Manchester City will be looking to move themselves to within just one win of a historic treble this season, as they take on bitter rivals United in the FA Cup final.

Pep Guardiola and his players are fresh off the back of winning their fifth Premier League title under the Catalan coach, and their third in a row, after fending off competition from Arsenal to win the top-flight crown with three games to spare.

Winning the league in advance has allowed for Guardiola to rest and rotate his squad where he deems fit, whilst also maintaining some level of rhythm and tempo for his key stars in the build-up to two huge finals that loom for the club.

Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium is the first contest to take on, before City will then re-focus for their Champions League final in Istanbul, with Serie A giants Inter being the opponents on June 10.

Pep Guardiola has been boosted by having a fully-fit squad to choose from for the challenge of Manchester United this weekend, while Erik ten Hag has a more difficult job after being hit with injury problems concerning Antony and Anthony Martial in particular.

Ahead of the first of two mammoth fixtures for Manchester City within the space of seven days, here is how Pep Guardiola and Erik ten Hag line up their respective squads underneath the Wembley Stadium arch on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City

Starting XI: Ortega Moreno, Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (C), Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland.
