Louis Saha makes prediction for FA Cup final

Manchester City and Manchester United meet this weekend in the FA Cup final.

The game is a rematch of last year's final, which saw City come away with a 2-1 victory as they won the second of their three titles that season.

City are once again Premier League champions this year but they are out of the Champions League, meaning they will have to settle for a potential double instead of another treble.

However, former United striker Louis Saha believes City will only win one trophy this year, because he is backing his old club to defy the odds and win Saturday's match.

Speaking to Betfred, Saha explained that the Red Devils ended their league campaign on a high with back-to-back victories, and that momentum could give them the push needed to topple their rivals.

“I know that Manchester United played well against Newcastle United and Brighton, but Manchester City also come into the game in really great form after securing the Premier League title," Saha said. 

"However, the fact they have those two victories under their belt means that they can approach the final positively after showing a bit of consistency and it’s a good opportunity to beat the best team in the country or even Europe.

“So many players need a shake-up, but some of the players have done really well lately, which is a good sign, and if they win, the manager will be able to grasp what went wrong for them this season and it could be something to learn from if he remains in his post.

“I think Manchester United will win on penalties after a 2-2 draw.”
