All other teams have fallen by the wayside on the long and winding road to the final, and now the two great Manchester clubs will slog it out, Pep Guardiola versus Erik ten Hag, Erling Haaland versus Marcus Rashford.

Each side has lifted a trophy already this season. City hoisted the Premier League trophy once again, while United lifted the Carabao Cup following victory over Newcastle at Wembley earlier in 2023.

Liverpool were last season's FA Cup winners after a dramatic penalty shootout against Chelsea, however, Jurgen Klopp's team were unsuccessful in their title defence after crashing out to Brighton in the fourth round.

Fans will be readying their tin-foil trophies for the trip to Wembley for one of the biggest dates on the football calendar with a huge rivalry for the nation to savour.
