Play that match 10 times and we might win twice, i'd say.

So not great odds, but always a hope. Thought city looked a bit leggy and unfocused against Spurs... If they play like that and we are very good, we could win

That's the spirit!

I don't give us a single hope. We have no chance. Zero. Which I actually think suits us and we should get a result because of it. Being given no chance actually gives us the best chance of beating City in years and we should bring home the trophy.

Genuinely think we have a chance, just need to swap all our players with theirs and hope for the best.

By the way, I know why Red Russian lived there for a while now. I'm currently in Turkey on holiday and around 90% of the clientele are Russian. Most of the women are insanely hot they're with podgy middle aged blokes. Still a chance for me then!

I guess we have to hope City's late title win celebrations can mean they won't be fully focused on the final with some players not turning up to the levels they can perform because on paper we don't have much of a chance.

Would be great to have Martinez back (and slabhead), not too bothered about Rashofrd although maybe this is exactly the sort of game where he actually shows up. I'd probably keep Amrabat in the middle over Casemiro as he's done ok the last couple games.

Martial coming off the bench in the last minute to get a winner like his first goal for us would be a nice send off.

Hope we do it and ruin their double but I think we all know the likely outcome. The pass the parcel champions will bore everyone to death as per usual with 700 pointless passes and win by 2 goals.

Going to be on holiday for it too. We fly out early the morning of the game so will have to find a bar to watch it in.

I was on holiday for last year's final but booked it this year to be at home. If I want to wallow in misery I'll do it at home! If your holiday is Llandudno I'll come watch the game with you!😂

Not very high. Not sure Ederson being out is a bonus. He's a better keeper than Ortega, no doubt but Ortega is a good keeper in his own right and Ederson is the one more likely to make an error.

Really not sure how I want this game to go. On the one hand you've got United who are awful, who still now years after they consistently won stuff are close to Liverpool's trophy haul and they are United which means I should want them to lose. However on the other hand you have cheats who have been hoovering up the trophies for years.

Logic says I should be hoping for a United win but just can't do it. City win for me.

Although with that said I won't be annoyed for once if United win a trophy as seeing City lose a final would be a silver lining.

I wouldn't expect, or want, a Liverpool fan to want Utd to win. Without rivalry between two proper clubs what's the point!

Well, a Liverpool supporter not being annoyed at us winning is a magnanimous gesture I never thought I'd see.

Are you implying that RR likes podgy middle aged blokes?

I hope he does! 😂

Surely Ederson will be fine and he went off more as a precaution for possible concussion.

Keep it tight, block their passes through the middle, intercept the cutbacks from the flanks & win on penalties

Our scoring from penalties has been good in shootouts to be fair!

Maybe he does a Karius in the final?

I went last year. Doesn't feel good losing to them in a final so I can sort of drown my sorrows in the sun if we should lose.

Will be gutted to not have been there if we win though. 😂

My brother is going again though and travelling down and back with a blue (I know)

Cup game, so anything can happen. But I do not have much hope.

We need their team to come down with food poisoning, but even then we'll still end up losing.

Fair enough. It spoilt my holiday last year a bit though to be honest. Although there were no City fans around to rub it in. Loads more Hammers around for their win v Fiorentina.

Same here. I don’t even have the confidence of ETH putting out the best XI available to him.

Based on what we've seen I'd go.

Onana

Awb
Maguire
Martinez
Dalot

Casemiro
Amrabat
Mainoo

Garnacho
