FA Cup final marks the end of season in England, after the Premier League finished last weekend. Manchester City has won the title and now it wants another one, the third this season. Watford played quite well for the bigger part of season and lost steam only in the finish of season, probably having right this match in mind. Manchester City won Watford both times in the league this season.

Manchester City

Manchester City wanted to win everything this season but in the end it could be all three English titles but not so much wanted from the Champions League. They didn’t succeed in the Champions League and are definitely disappointed, however, they endured a great pressure in the league all the way till the end and have ended up having one point more than Liverpool. They won Brighton away in the previous round by 1-4 and that was the 7th consecutive win in all competitions. Midfielder de Bruyne is ready for the FA Cup final and will play from the first minute, while Mahrez goes on the bench.

Probable lineups Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko – Gundogan, de Bruyne, D. Silva – B. Silva, Aguero, Sterling

Watford

This is already a very good season for Watford and its fans will surely remember it for a long time, but if they manage to win the FA Cup it goes into history books. Watford didn’t oscillate much and was mostly positioned around mid-table, although it could join the race for the Europa League if it played better in the finish of season. They lost steam after winning Wolverhampton in the FA Cup semi-finals, which in turn gave them chance to play for the title. After that Watford lost four times, drew once and won once in the Premier League. Holebas is out of action due to injury, while all others are ready for the final.

Probable lineups Watford: Gomes – Femenia, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina – Doucoure, Capoue – Pereyra, Hughes – Deulofeu, Deeney

Verdict:

Of course, Manchester City is an absolute favourite to win but Watford has demonstrated this season how tough it can be. Watford reprioritised its objectives a long time ago and the league was put on the back burner, and instead they focused all their efforts right on this match, which is why we believe Watford is capable to score a goal and parry to old/new champions.

Pick: both teams to score 2.10 - 110/100 @1XBet
