Pep Guardiola's team has just successfully defended their Premier League title. That achievement shows their extremely formidable strength because at one point Liverpool were 7 points behind Man City. Man City have had a series of 14 consecutive wins since the beginning of the year to convincingly win the championship.
Man City's journey to the FA Cup final was also quite difficult. Among the opponents Pep Guardiola's team defeated were Tottenham, who have just fallen to them on the European front, and their hated neighbours Man United.
Meanwhile, Watford have not had to face giants in their journey. Watford only had to face some tough opponents. Their victim list is only Crystal Palace, Wolves, QPR and Newcastle.
Tonight, Man City have a chance to make history with the FA Cup final. If they defeat Watford, Pep Guardiola's team will become the first club to win three domestic titles and absolutely dominate the foggy country in a season.
Man City's opponent today, Watford, is not a significant obstacle for them. Pep Guardiola's team defeated this team in both encounters in the Premier League 2018/19. Javi Garcia and his team have not won their last 4 matches and have lost all 3 of their last matches in the Premier League.
A final is always exciting and unpredictable, just a small moment can decide the match. But with superior strength, Pep Guardiola and his students have a great opportunity to complete their 3-a-side domestic tournament.

Man City (4-3-3): 31. Ederson; 2. Walker. 4. Kompany. 14. Laporte. 35. Zinchenko; 21. Silva. 8. Gundogan. 17. De Bruyne; 20. Bernardo. 10. Aguero. 7. Sterling.
