This is true, one of the advantages of Manchester City this season is that they have a fairly even squad on almost all fronts for the main and reserve line-ups. Recalling for now we are even aware that their core line up as well as reserves are equally strong in this regard.
That's the strength of a club with large enough financials, they can hunt for players they think are suitable for their team and when players can provide good things the club is also able to defend it so that these players will last several years at the club so that the team's appearance becomes more stable, moreover Manchester City has a manager who can understand which players are suitable for the style of play that is applied.
It's true, Manchester City's current condition is quite complex, not only about the players, but indeed the coaches are clear that in this case they are really well taken care of.
With this condition (the coach) who is in charge plus the players who are quite stable so it's not wrong that they are the favorites in this matter.
But on the other hand, this does not mean that this will only belong to Manchester City, considering that Manchester United are also in quite good condition, especially for some of their young players who are showing good performances.
It's just that for now Manchester City has what Manchester United doesn't have, namely finishing. Manchester United has always struggled in that regard unlike Manchester City with their Haaland or indeed if he failed, there were still a number of wingers and midfielders with quite lethal goal instincts.
Agreed even though Manchester City can be said to be above Manchester United but that doesn't mean it will easily belong to City, United still have strength and if they can overcome weak points well in finishing then it will be a burdensome thing for City, a strong team isn't it meaning that there will always be wins and top there are times when they can slip up because the opponent is studying closely how to beat them.
Manchester United still have hope especially with their young players like Rashford, Garnacho and Jadon Sancho who in the last few matches have shown an increase in performance of course it will be very good for them it's just that as said before in this case their chances and Manchester City are a little different because Manchester City has a bigger chance.
Now it's just a matter of seeing how the final plays out today because of course it will be quite interesting if indeed both teams are all out in the match which will take place in a few hours from now.
