How many FA Cup finals have Man Utd and Man City won - and who has appeared in the most ahead of 2023 derby?

The FA Cup final will be an all-Manchester affair this year for the first time ever when Manchester City take on Manchester United for the domestic trophy.

Pep Guardiola's City side cruised past Championship club Sheffield United on Saturday thanks to a Riyad Mahrez hat-trick and booked their place in the final later this year.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag's men had a feistier clash with Premier League opposition Brighton. Neither team could break the deadlock at Wembley Stadium on Sunday and the Seagulls blinked first during the penalty shootout as a skied Solly March penalty sent them crashing out.

Manchester United will be looking to secure their second piece of silverware this season when they meet with their noisy neighbours in London come June, having already triumphed at Wembley this year when beating Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are still in with the chance of completing the treble as they also hunt down Arsenal in the Premier League and prepare for a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

Here's how both sides have fared in FA Cup finals over the years.
