It’s the cup or nothing—Man United fans
Manchester United and Crystal Palace will meet at Wembley Stadium today in English football’s showpiece match – the FA Cup final. For fans of Man United, it is the title or nothing.
And for Louis van Gaal in particular, it is an opportunity to round off a distinctly disappointing season with the club’s 12th FA Cup triumph and their first since 2004.
On his part, Alan Pardew’s Palace will be hoping to upset the odds and achieve an historic victory in what is their first final appearance since 1990, when they were beaten by United in a replay.
Manchester United is expected to play (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Rojo/Borthwick-Jackson; Carrick, Fellaini; Mata, Rooney, Martial; Rashford.
Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1): Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Cabaye, Jedinak; Zaha, Puncheon, Bolasie; Wickham.
