2022/23 FA Cup
Final
Manchester City v Manchester United
Wembley Stadium
London, England
Saturday, 3 June 2023
Kick-off is at 16h00
Manchester City will be targeting the domestic double when they lock horns with Manchester United in the
FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, June 3.
The Citizens were crowned Premier League champions for the third year running when they hauled in Arsenal to finish five points clear at the top of the table last weekend.
Pep Guardiola's side have also reached the UEFA Champions League final and could be in with a shout of securing a first-ever treble when they meet Inter Milan at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on June 10.

City have yet to concede a single goal in the world's most famous cup competition, dispatching Chelsea 4-0, Arsenal 1-0, Bristol City 3-0, Burnley 6-0 and Sheffield United 3-0 en route to the final.
They last contested the trophy in 2019 and thumped Watford 6-0 to win the title for the sixth time, having previously been on the losing end in 2013 after being beaten 1-0 by Wigan.
Riyad Mahrez has spearheaded City's challenge with five goals in five games, including a hat-trick against the Blades in the semi-finals. The Algerian winger doesn't just have an eye for goal though, as he finished the league campaign with 11 assists and could play a pivotal role against the Red Devils with Jack Grealish an injury doubt.

Grealish missed the 1-0 defeat to Brentford on the final day of the season, along with Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias and Kevin De Bruyne, with Guardiola admitting the quartet are carrying niggles but is hopeful they will feature against United.
"We have four or five players with niggles, not big injuries, but they are injuries," the Spaniard said. "The guys who didn't play here (at Brentford) were really, really exhausted the day before and mentally, they were completely drained.
"The guys who are in Manchester - Ruben didn't train for 10 days, Jack Grealish, as well. After the game against Brighton, Kevin felt the same feelings that he had before, weeks ago when he could not play a few games. It is what it is.
"It's not a big issue, I think they will be ready. They have to be ready for the training sessions and I am going to see them in three days and that's why today was so important to see these players and how they are.
"To play the finals we have to play the guys who feel better. Not because they played a lot of minutes. That's why it was good to play with these guys and rest the other ones and hopefully the other ones can recover.
"Wednesday they will train and recover tomorrow. Hopefully (they will be OK), but right now, I don't know."
