Manchester City are the 2/7 favourites to win the FA Cup this weekend
The first ever Manchester Derby FA Cup Final takes place on Saturday and City are the odds-on favourites with bookmakers to lift the trophy against their rivals United.
Manchester City won the Premier League this season and they will be looking to win the FA Cup for the second part of a historic treble.
The only time it has been done before in English Football is by Manchester United in the 1998/99 season and they will be trying to stop their rivals from doing so.
Bet365 make City the heavy favourites to lift the FA Cup this weekend at 2/7 and it is guaranteed to be a scrappy affair where neither side will look to give an inch to their rivals.
| FA Cup Winner 2022/23 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 2/7 | 77.8% |
| Man United | 11/4 | 26.7% |
United are 11/4 to lift the trophy for the 13th time in their history
Manchester United are a massive price to win the FA Cup at 11/4 with those odds likely the longest they've been in the betting market for an FA Cup Final in their recent appearances.
United are as big as 4/1 to win the FA Cup in 90 minutes and it could well be that they'll look to grind out a result here with the potential of Extra Time and Penalties on the cards.
It's 7/1 that the FA Cup Final is decided in Extra Time and 8/1 that it goes to Penalties for the second year in a row following Liverpool's shootout win over Chelsea in last year's final.
City are now 1/2 to complete a famous treble with Champions League Final next week
This weekend's FA Cup Final is the first of two major finals for City in the space of 7 days with the Champions League Final on the way next Saturday in Istanbul.
That final sees City face off against Inter Milan as Pep Guardiola and his team look to finally win a European Cup after years of trying to do so.
City are even shorter in the market to win the Champions League with their odds now at 2/9 to do so against Inter Milan's 10/3 odds to lift the famous trophy.
Winning the FA Cup and Champions League would mean they would emulate United's 98/99 treble winning side and in doing so create another bit of history in the Guardiola era.
| Champions League Winner 22/23 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 2/9 | 81.8% |
| Inter Milan | 10/3 | 23.1% |
