Manchester City take on Watford in the FA Cup final
City are unsurprisingly strong favourites against a Watford side who finished 11th in the Premier League.
But underdogs Watford are out to cause an upset and crown their fine season with their first piece of major silverware.
Should the Hornets pull off a shock, they will secure qualification for the Europa League.
City beat Brighton while Watford saw off Wolves in the semi-finals to reach the historic final.
Watford’s only appearance in the final came in 1984, when they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Everton, while City are five-time winners of the competition, with their last success coming in 2011.

Watford boss Javi Gracia could spoil the party for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City
City may be big favourites but boss Pep Guardiola is taking nothing for granted: “It is a cup final, anything can happen like a red card,.
“In one game, anything can happen. Normally the better team wins but a decision of the referee could make the difference.
“In the Premier League you have another chance and can be more relaxed, but this is completely different.”
So who will claim glory under the famous arch? Find out live on talkSPORT.
