The two teams are back at Wembley, which was a tough place for Manchester United last year when they lost the FA Cup final

For both teams, this is understandably a huge game.

Manchester City will be hoping to retain the trophy, and Manchester United will want to avoid losing to their local rivals again.

Last year, the two teams faced each other in the FA Cup final, and Manchester City won.

The team then went on to win an historic treble - which is when you win the Champions League, FA Cup as well as the Premier League.

Wembley is sold out for the match, and there's going to be thousands of fans travelling to London to watch.

As so many people will be travelling from Manchester, fans have been advised to take separate routes to the stadium.

What are each team's chances?

Last week, Manchester City won the Premier League title, so they will be feeling pretty hopeful for their chances.

The last time the two teams played each other, on 3 March, the game ended in a 3-1 win to Manchester City.

So Manchester United will be trying hard to beat City, and bag themselves a trophy after a difficult season.

A win would also give United a place in the Europa League next year.

United have won the competition 12 times - five more than City - but the last time Manchester United won the FA Cup was in 2016.
