For the FA Cup, Manchester City beat Fulham 4-0. Pep Guardiola made nine substitutes in the first eleven, but his team had no problem to beat their opponents and make it to the next round of the competition.

Gabriel twice, Guindogan, and Bernardo Silva scored the goals for citizens. In the Premier League, they will secure 2nd place, but it is impossible to threat Liverpool to retain their championship title.

In the first leg, they beat Man Utd away 3-1. City has almost secured its presence in the EFL final; however, in a big Manchester clash, nobody can be sure about anything. Guardiola will trust some players from the bench again.

Cancelo, Laporte, and Mahrez are doubtful. The first eleven of Guardiola is a matter of concern that nobody can answer for sure. We will know that some minutes before the kick-off.

United thrashed Tranmere 6-0 and made it to the next round of FA Cup. It was a result that the "Red Devils" need it desperately after many bad performances in the Premier League, and their loss from City in the first leg of EFL semifinal.

For sure, nobody is happy in the United. They are sitting in the 5th place of the table, and they have great difficulty in scoring. Solskjær cannot feel comfortable, and a possible scenario is that he will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season (maybe earlier than that).

The Norwegian manager tries to strengthen his roster. United want to sign Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon, as they desperately need a central midfielder with creative skills. They offer him more than 60 million euros.

The Argentinian midfielder Rojo is out, while Pogba and McTominey will be out also, and these are significant absences from the midfield zone. Besides, the best player of the season for United so far, Marus Rashford is also injured.

The two teams have faced each other 157 times. Manchester City has 48 wins, while Manchester United has won 62 times, and 47 matches ended in a draw.

The first eleven are an unpredictable situation for this clash.

David Silva may play to take some more minutes as the Spanish veteran play less in Premier League games.

On the other side, Martial will have to cover Rashord absence, so the French star is the main threat to City's defense.
