The Manchester City squad were spotted at Watford ahead of the FA Cup final

Manchester City’s team bus has been spotted outside Watford Junction as the team stay at The Grove for the FA Cup Final.

The Premier League champions take on local rivals Manchester United at Wembley Stadium today (May 25) from 3pm.

Ahead of the game, the team buses were in the city center yesterday and then later on the lanes on their way to The Grove on the outskirts of Watford.

The luxury five-star hotel has been a popular venue for football teams preparing for games in north-west London and Watford.

It hosted Lionel Messi and the Argentina team ahead of a match against Italy on 1 June 2022, and the England team left The Grove for the Euro final the year before.

Victory this afternoon would see City become the first English side to win the domestic double in back-to-back seasons and give them an additional trophy to display in the planned open bus tournament in Manchester on Sunday.
