Manchester City and Stoke Face Off in the FA Cup Final

Stoke City and Manchester City will clash in the FA Cup Final this Saturday in what is certain to be an intriguing encounter. While Manchester City look to justify their huge spending levels, Stoke City will simply be happy to be competing in their very first final.City are still waiting for their first major trophy since 1981, although they have already booked their spot in next season's Champions' League. Despite European qualification and the prospect of an FA Cup triumph, City manager Roberto Mancini remains under pressure at the Etihad Stadium. Some newspapers have reported that failure to beat Stoke City on Saturday will cost the Italian his job. The main selection headache for Mancini will surround Carlos Tevez. The little Argentinian has only played seven minutes of competitive football in a month, and he still isn't fully match fit after a hamstring injury. Stoke City manager Tony Pulis will be dreaming of causing a huge shock by guiding The Potters to their first ever major piece of silverware. They are in excellent form in the league, and they head into the cup final on the back of an impressive 5-0 drubbing of Bolton Wanderers in the semi-final.If you want to make sure you don't miss the action, you can buy tickets for Wembley Stadium right here at LiveFootballTickets.com.
