The Premier League may have drawn to a close for another season, but there is still one final piece of silverware up for grabs this weekend as Manchester United and Chelsea go head-to-head in the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.
Both managers will be desperate to finish the season on a high, with speculation rife surrounding Antonio Conte's future at Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, will be looking to build on last year’s cup success in the EFL Cup and the Europa Cup as he goes up against his former club. |
The Red Devils will go into the game as slight favourites, however Chelsea, are clearly no forlorn hope despite a 3-0 humbling to Newcastle on the final day of the Premier League season. With that in mind, the game could be decided in extra-time and that makes plenty of appeal in terms of a value bet.
As for potential goal-scorers, United striker Romelu Lukaku faces a race against time to be fit for the game, and it could therefore be left to Marcus Rashford to lead the line for Utd. The English teenager will be keen to impress on the big stage, and look to add to the 7 goals he's notched up this season across all competitions. Whilst for the Blues, Olivier Giroud is likely to start the match as the most likely to score following a recent good run of form which included a goal in the FA Cup semi-finals against Southampton.
