Manchester City entered the tournament in the third round, as a Premier League team. They began with a 5–0 home victory over Huddersfield Town at the Etihad Stadium.[1] They then defeated Tottenham Hotspur away in the fourth round in a 1–0 victory.[2] In the fifth round, they beat Luton Town 6–2 away at Kenilworth Road.[3]

In the quarter-final match, Manchester City hosted Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium where they came out 2–0 winners in the end which put them through to the semi-finals.[4] In the semi-final match, held at the neutral venue of Wembley Stadium, Manchester City defeated Chelsea in a 1–0 victory to qualify for a second consecutive FA Cup final.[5]

As a Premier League team, Manchester United also entered the tournament in the third round. They began their campaign with a 2–0 away win over Wigan Athletic,[6] before recording a 4–2 away win over Newport County.[7] In the fifth round, United travelled to the City Ground and defeated Nottingham Forest 1–0.[8]

In the quarter-finals, United defeated rivals Liverpool 4–3 after extra time at their home ground, Old Trafford.[9]

In the semi-final match, also held at Wembley, United defeated Coventry City 4–2 on penalties after a 3–3 draw, during which they squandered a 3–0 lead, to set up a Manchester derby final for a second successive season. Coventry's Victor Torp put the ball in the back of the net at the very last minute which nearly completed a remarkable comeback and would have made them the first team from outside the top flight to reach an FA Cup final since Cardiff City in 2008, but Haji Wright, who assisted the goal, was deemed offside and it was ruled out by VAR.[10] This will be the first time United will have played in successive FA Cup finals since 2005.
