    Odds: Man. City -450 / Watford +1200 / Draw +525 

  

Manchester City: No cup final is ever a cakewalk, but City should feel confident about earning this crown. Having beaten Watford twice this season gives the club plenty to work with in order to repeat, but the magic of the FA Cup final produces surprises. Expect a typical City game where they control most of the ball, create tons of chances and have more than enough opportunities to win it.

Watford: It's all about belief for this team. If Wigan Athletic can beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final, why can't they? Of course, this City is a much more dominate version than that 2013 squad. While that team did have David Silva, Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero, it wasn't nearly as prolific in attack. That's why the key to Watford's success will be defensively remaining strong. All eyes will be on Abdoulaye Doucoure and his ability to cause problems in the middle.
