As a Manchester United fan, I am definitely going for a win for Manchester United mainly because of Jose Mourinho and his tactics alone, Chelsea have had a very bad season and their self esteem is in tatters especially when they lost out to Champions League football next season.

I agree on the Man U win, but I think it will be a close one Our bet for this is under 2.5 goals, do you agree with this?

[tokeweed]

^  Yup I kinda agree.  Two counter attacking sides with one manager having the tendency of negative tactics (United) and the other lacking the players in attack (Chelsea).  Sure Hazard and Willian are quich but Conte needs a proper striker.  Morata just isn't working out...

But knowing Mou, he'll be making adjustments in the second half and get the edge over Chelsea.  We've seen it before in the semis vs the Spurs and the league game vs City.  United gets the job done when it matters.

But same Man Utd team have given so many upsets to the fans in the main match, i will go with Chelsea win or draw, Hope that Chelsea come up in the game and win it. First half draw is also a good bet as both team have good defense.

But the thing to consider is if Manchester United will be playing a full squad.
I mean will their high profile players be in the match?
Or did they all leave to go and start practicing with their home country squads in preparation for the world cup coming up soon?
This is something to think about when betting on a finals match like this one.

I was a bit surprised to see bookies slightly favouring United for this match, given his record against Chelsea's Conte in the past 2 seasons. Nevertheless, I'd still back Chelsea for an edgy win @2.8. I would say they're both going to give it all this match, though. Mourinho will probably do a surprise final game by throwing on the attack so I'm going to also put an even bet on Over 2.5 @2.51.

Matic MOTM at @24 is definitely worth a small punt (sky Sports). He'll have added incentive to play well.

I think this will be a huge night for both teams and I really want chelsea to win the cup.Chelsea can beat Man U easily but they should defend carefully.

[emberbekas]

Chelsea are slightly favored in this match. But the chances of a draw in normal times seem to be bigger. Chelsea draw no bet is probably the best choice for tonight.

Doubtful for Lukaku and Fellaini.  But Mou could play Sanchez to spearhead the attack in a 4 3 3 (4 3 2 1 variation).

So it could be some thing like:

                           Sanchez
Rash ----------------           ----------------- Lingard

Pogba -------------- Matic ------------------- Herrera

Young ------- Smalling ---------- Bailley (or Jones) ------- Valencia.

This is not just a game of two clubs it's a game for both managers to salvage some pride after a underperforming season for both the clubs. Yes opi know you'll say but Manchester United finished 2nd but at what cost, boring slow to death football, bright stars like rashford and Martial being sidelined, I'm a Manchester United fan since I started watching football but the football they currently play I have to switch it off. I was hoping Jose would go and we get a attacking manager. Btw let's not forget its conte last match even though it's unofficial he's leaving the same way van Gull left. I expect first half to be a goalless as each one will take a defensive approach. Expect some moment towards later half of the match. Either 1 -0 or 2-1 Manchester United will win (I'm being biased I know but at the end of the day I'm a red devil fan).

Manchester is easily going to win this Chelsea has had a really bad season i don't know why man u also have high odds but if someone wants to make some free money today go with man u itself because recently chelsea lost against new castle 3-0 can't imagine how badly man u is going to wreck them

[tokeweed]

^  Easily...?  I pretty much doubt that.  Chelsea may have underperformed this season but they're still capable of beating any club in the EPL at any given week granting that all their top players are healthy.  They got Hazard, Kante, Fabregas, Willian, Luiz, Alonso and I guess Moses...  That's a decent group of players.

This is quite true since they are wanting to do it to cap off a rather dismal season and a piece of silverware will boost them up a bit.
If they play these guys against Manchester United you know they will be going all out to win it in todays final.
As the red devils probably will not.

[joebrook]

Phil Jones and Marcus Rashford undoubtedly cost Manchester United FA CUP glory this season and the only person am going to blame is Jose Mourinho for selecting the duo in the first person. Pogba has gone back to his old ways once again.

[btcdevil]

As expected Chelsea won the match with 1-0 taking first goal lead in first half and then started the defense game. As expected man utd lost it when they should have won the match and cup.

Congratulate to Chelsea winning the FA cup

Yeah that was a pretty slow game and both teams didn't want to give a goal , congrats to chelsea as this is the only thing they win this season and maybe even next season by not qualifying for champions league also
Sad that was a offside as i would love to see that extra time roll in

That was a good prediction, i knew this was match wont have many goals and i actually expected Manchester to win, both are having a terrible season and if not for the penalty this would have being a draw and this loss means that Manchester United did not win any trophy this year.
Looks like it might be the last match of Conte as the Chelsea manager.
