United fans seeking their football fix can catch two big finals this weekend, with the Emirates FA Cup & Championship Play-Off Final’s taking place this weekend!
The Emirates FA Cup Final is first up this Saturday (25th May), and its the Manchester derby as Eric Ten Hag bids for Manchester United’s last chance to qualify for European football next season in the Europa League, but in front of him are Pep Guardiola’s Premier League Champions Manchester City, who will be looking to spoil the red half of the city’s day in a repeat of last season’s Final, when the Citizens won 2-1 on their way to the treble of Premier League, FA Cup & Champions League glory. Can United spoil their neighbours double dream this year? Kick off is at 3pm, with extra time to be played if scores are level after 90 minutes, and then penalties if scores still level after extra time.
Then on Sunday 26th May it’s the biggest domestic game financially, as Leeds United take on Southampton at Wembley in the Championship Play-Off Final, with the winner making an instant return to the Premier League following relegation last season. Southampton have won both fixtures between the sides this season, with a 3-1 win at St Mary’s back in September, and then a 2-1 win at Elland Road three weeks ago on the last day of the Championship season.
Leeds will be eager to put the record straight and claim their first win over the Saints this season in the biggest game and reclaim their place at footballs top table. Kick off is at 3pm with extra time if scores are level after 90 minutes & then penalties if scores are still level after extra time.
Will Southampton be Saints or Sinners, or will it be Leeds United that go Marching On Together to the promised land of the Premier League?
