It's an all-Manchester FA Cup final.

The pregame narrative: City just won the Premier League for a fourth-consecutive season while United finished eighth in the table and is reportedly moving on from manager Erik ten Hag after this match. The two teams couldn't be in more different places and I'm backing the Sky Blues to win.

Check out these Manchester City vs. Manchester United picks for Game 1 on May 25.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United best bet

Best Bet: Manchester City -1.5 (-127)

The Manchester Derby has been a one-sided rivalry lately.

Manchester City is 6-0-1 against United in the last seven meetings and five of those wins have come by two plus goals. That includes a 3-0 win on the road and a 3-1 win at home in the Premier League this year.

These teams also met in the FA Cup final last season and the Sky Blues scored 12 seconds in. They eventually won the match 2-1 en route to the Treble.

That wouldn't have cashed this bet but the thing is, Pep Guardiola's side is just as good, while ten Hag's team has gotten markedly worse.

The Red Devils went 18-6-14 this season with a -1 goal differential. Their eighth-place finish was the worst since the 1989-90 season. Scoring was an issue for the team as it only netted 57 goals, which was 39 less than its cross-town rival.

City paced the league in wins (28), goals for (96) and goal differential (+62). It shouldn't have a problem laying a beating on an inferior opponent.

Key stat: Manchester City has won six straight games by two-plus goals.
