Manchester United face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday. Both the clubs will be wanting to finish the season on a high by winning a trophy. For Chelsea’s Antonio Conte, this might be his last game in charge as there has been intense speculation about his future after the London club failed to qualify for the Champions League next season. United on the other hand have managed to finish second and Mourinho will be looking to add his third major trophy at the club.
Man United vs Chelsea Prediction
Both Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte are pragmatic managers, so this final might be a very cagey affair with both teams being defensive. Mourinho might include an extra midfielder to deal with Eden Hazard like he has done previously when United have faced Chelsea.
Man United vs Chelsea Formation
Manchester United is expected to lineup in a 4-3-3 formation with Mourinho preferring an extra man in midfield to deal with Eden Hazard. Conte is expected to stick to his 3-5-1-1 formation with Giroud upfront.
