UNLIKE the Scottish treble the English equivalent hasn’t been achieved … until now.
Man City survived a scare to clinch the Premier League title last week and are set to add the FA Cup to the League Cup they won in February.
Holding all three trophies would be unprecedented and boss Pep Guardiola lives to break records and show off silverware.
Maybe next season he’ll be targeting the Quadruple although I doubt if that’s possible for any side to achieve.
Today’s opponents at Wembley are Watford who have enjoyed a fine season despite ending with three defeats.
Javi Gracia, a Spaniard respected by his dugout rival, led them to 10th place and into just their second FA Cup Final after a dramatic comeback to beat Wolves in the semi-final.
They’ve obviously had one eye on this game for a while I can see them putting up a fight but there can only be one winner.
Both league meetings this season saw City win and both score so that has a chance at 2-1 at Betway.
City are no bigger than 2-9 to win in 90 minutes and 1-7 at Betfred to lift the Cup.
Watford are 6-1 with bet365 to pick up the trophy and 14-1 at Betfred to do the business in normal time.
The Blues have won the last 10 meetings between the sides and scored at least two goals in all of those outings.
City to win and over 2.5 goals pays 7-10 at Betway and with over 3.5 goals it’s 13-8 at Paddy Power.
Sergio Aguero finished the season on a high with a goal at Brighton that took his season’s tally to 32 in all competitions.
He is favourite to score first at 14-5 with Betway and is 4-5 at Ladbrokes to net at any time.
Raheem Sterling, who finished the campaign with 29 but with no goals in his last six, is 4-1 at Ladbrokes to strike first and 11-10 at BetVictor to net.
Sterling loves playing at Wembley and hit a hat-trick against the Hornets back in March at the Etihad.
The first 10 players in the first-scorer betting market are on City’s side which highlights their strength in depth.
Most likely to hit the net for Watford are Gerard Delofeu at 11-2 with Betfred is skipper and penalty taker Troy Deeney who is the same price at Paddy Power.
