2013 F.A Cup Final Preview – Manchester City v Wigan Athletic

This season’s F.A Cup final takes place on Saturday 11^th May at Wembley Stadium when Manchester City and Wigan will do battle for the famous old trophy.

Manchester City are strong favourites to win the F.A Cup at a current best price of 1/5 (Ladbrokes) to lift the cup. Wigan are 4/1 with Bet365.

The all Premier League final kicks-off at 5.15pm on Saturday and coverage will be shown on both ITV and ESPN. In the betting to win the match in 90 minutes Man City are 37/100 (Betway) the draw is 17/4 (Bet Victor) and Wigan are 17/2 with the same firm.

Wigan Athletic got to the final after an impressive win at Goodison Park in the quarter finals before beating Millwall 2-0 at Wembley and despite being threatened with relegation this season, Roberto Martinez insists his side will be ready for the showpiece on Saturday.

Manchester City are chasing their second F.A Cup win in three seasons, while this will be Wigan’s first ever F.A Cup final appearance. The only side to ever win the trophy in their first final appearance was Wimbledon and their crazy gang back in 1988.

Looking at the recent history of this fixture, Manchester City are justifiable favourites, Wigan have not scored a goal vs Man City in their last seven meetings, losing all seven in that time and Carlos Tevez enjoys playing Saturday’s opponents, he has scored seven times in his last 12 appearances against Wigan.

Wigan will look to continue their fine run in this season’s F.A Cup, they have conceded just two goals in the competition this campaign and only one in their last five matches. Manchester City boast a run of 18 consecutive F.A Cup matches in which they have scored and have conceded just once this season.
