Preview: Manchester City vs. Wigan Athletic

Manchester City will be aiming to win their third trophy in as many years when they take on Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup Final at Wembley on Saturday.

City ended their 35-year trophy drought by beating Stoke City 1-0 in the 2011 FA Cup final, before winning last season's Premier League title in dramatic fashion.

The cup is City's only hope of securing silverware this season after seeing their title defence ended by city rivals Manchester United.

The game will provide Wigan with a distraction from their fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League. The Latics have reached the final for the first time and Roberto Martinez's men will be hoping to win the first piece of major silverware in the club's history.

Roberto Mancini's City have been in the better form leading into the match, having won four of their last six league games while Wigan have won just one of their last six.

City midfielder Yaya Toure could miss out with a muscle complaint, while Scott Sinclair has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.

Injured Wigan defenders Antolin Alcaraz, Ivan Ramis, Maynor Figueroa and Ronnie Stam are out of the final, while Jean Beausejour is also struggling to feature with a hamstring injury.
