The 2011 FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium will be contested between Manchester City and Stoke City.
To get there both teams had to over come tricky opponents in the Semi Finals. City were drawn against local Machester rivals, Manchester United. It was a tight match, but City were the better team throughout. The match changing moment came when Paul Scholes saw a red card, and City went onto to win the game 1-0.
Stoke faced Bolton Wanderers it what looked to be another close encounter. After a great season under the guidance of Owen Coyle, Bolton were looking to get to their first cup final since reaching Wembley the 1995 League Cup. On that occasion they lost to Liverpool.
The game however was nothing like expected with Stoke running out convincing winners 5-0.
This years FA Cup represents Man City’s first real chance of a trophy since they were taken over by their money bad Ab Dubai owners. They are the deinate favourites to win the final and the pressure is certainly on Roberto Mancini’s men.
That said, Stoke always go into their games with passion and Tony Pulis always has them well organised, who will your money be on?
