Miami Beach, Florida (May 10, 2013) – Manchester City and Wigan Athletic will lock horns at Wembley this Saturday to decide the winner of the 2012/13 FA Cup competition. English Premier League champions Manchester United and FA Cup titleholders Chelsea were among the favourites to clinch glory but both stumbled on the road to the final. The world’s oldest knockout tournament title will now go to either Man City or Wigan. Before Wembley transforms into a full house of supporters, check where to watch Manchester City vs Wigan Athletic and do not miss a single moment of it on Saturday, May 11, 2013.
The Citizens are hopeful of ending this season on a high. They suffered a group stage exit in the UEFA Champions League last year before officially losing their EPL crown to the Red Devils a few weeks ago. Roberto Mancini will be looking to guide his men to a fourth piece of silverware in two years.
Under the reign of the Italian, the blue side of Manchester has known success in the 2010/11 FA Cup, the 2011/12 Barclays Premiership and the 2012 FA Community Shield. City are a battle away from doing what neighbours Manchester United have not done since 2004: celebrating victory in the FA Cup final.
However, Wigan Athletic are tricky opponents. The Latics’ fate in the EPL is hugely in doubt. With a couple of fixtures to go, they find themselves in 18th position, three points behind Sunderland, Norwich City and Newcastle United who are all tied on 38 points.
An upset of favourites Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup final would, incredibly, see Wigan Athletic qualify for next season’s UEFA Europa League competition. This may sound too good to be true, but it is actually a tempting option for manager Roberto Martinez. The latter is focused on helping Wigan survive in the league. Unless they are strong enough to win the remainder of their games, what should be the Latics’ priority between FA Cup glory and English Premier League survival?
