LONDON : All roads from Manchester lead to Wembley Stadium on Saturday for the first ever FA Cup final between the city's arch-rivals - a fitting climax to the domestic season and a clash loaded with significance for both clubs.
Another trophy is motivation enough for United, but stopping City's march towards a treble that could be sealed a week later in Istanbul against Inter Milan will fuel their hunger. It would also make redundant a favourite anthem of United's fans, one they gleefully sing to remind City's faithful that they have never won the historic treble that Alex Ferguson's side completed 24 years ago.
City, driven by the chance of sporting immortality, will start favourites on Saturday in the 142nd edition of the showpiece final, although Guardiola will be wary of a United side they lost to 2-1 in February, avenging a 6-3 mauling at the hands of their neighbours in October.
