SO, WHO WILL LIFT THE TROPHY?

JAMIE REDKNAPP UNITED WIN 2-1

This is so difficult to predict. In Hazard, Chelsea have a player who can decide this game on his own. But Chelsea were so bad at Newcastle and you can’t just turn it on and off. I’m going for United.

CHRIS SUTTON CHELSEA WIN 2-1

My head says United and Mourinho but, despite last week’s dreadful display, it would be typical of Conte to prove everyone wrong and finish his Chelsea career on a high.

MARTIN KEOWN 1-1 (UNITED ON PENS)

I hope this does not become a game of football chess between the two managers, otherwise we could be at Wembley until midnight! I have a feeling it will go all the way.

PETER CROUCH UNITED WIN 2-1

I’ve played against United this season and I believe they’ll push Man City close next year. They also have a manager who knows how to outwit his rivals in finals.

MATT BARLOW UNITED WIN 2-1

Neither side are in their most fluent form but I’m expecting United to win a tight and tense affair based on Mourinho’s ability to turn up with a plan and squeeze out a result.

IAN LADYMAN UNITED WIN 2-0

The writing was on the wall for Chelsea at Newcastle. Conte is on his way out and the players know it. Against a manager who knows how to win big games, this will prove another game too far for them.

DOMINIC KING CHELSEA WIN 2-1

It’s been a difficult season and the build-up has been far from ideal but Chelsea are still a quality side and have the players to hurt United.

CHRIS WHEELER UNITED WIN 2-1

Mourinho’s record in Cup finals — 12 wins in 14 — speaks for itself. United need a win more than ever, and expect Mourinho to deliver against his old club who have stumbled through the season.
