The Manchester derby comes to Wembley, with Manchester City aiming for the second piece of silverware in their bid for a treble.
Pep Guardiola's side lost on the last day of the Premier League to Brentford – but rested the likes of Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish for that game. All return to the line-up here.
Manchester United – the only English side to have previously won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in a single season – will be hoping to force a repeat of the last meeting between the two teams, which United won 2-1.
Manchester City line up in a 3-2-4-1 formation, with John Stones stepping into his half-and-half defensive midfielder role, dropping into the backline as required. The biggest call Guardiola has made is sticking with 'cup' goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, with Ederson dropping to the bench.
Manchester United see Marcus Rashford start in a No.9 role up front, supported by an City youth product Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes on the wings.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch FA Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International FA Cup TV rights
• UK: BBC and ITV share the rights
• USA: ESPN
• Canada: Sportsnet
• Australia: Network10 and Paramount Sports have the rights
• New Zealand: Sky Sport
