The head coach of "Manchester City" Roberto Mancini wants the FA Cup final to be a Manchester derby.

In yesterday's FA Cup quarter-final match, "City" left no hope for the "Barnsley" team. Today, at "Old Trafford" stadium, "Man Utd" and London's "Chelsea" will compete for a place in the semifinals.

"It would be fantastic to end the season with two Manchester teams meeting in the FA Cup final," R. Mancini told journalists.

"It is unclear who we will face in the semifinals, but regardless of the team, we will aim for victory and a ticket to the final," added the Italian.

For the English champions, winning this tournament could be a saving grace for the season, as they are currently 12 points behind "United" in the Premier League standings.
