MATCHES PREVIEW OVER THE WEEKEND

There will be series of cup finals this weekend as Juventus,Bayern Munich and Barcelona look to win a domestic double this season while Manchester United hope to save their season with an FA cup win after finishing 5th and losing out 4th place to rivals Manchester City in a so called disappointing season.
 Manchester United Vs Crystal Palace (Saturday 17:30)FA cup
Manchester United will play against Crystal Palace in the final on 21st May,2016 by 17:30(GMT+1) at Wembley. Man Utd looks to win their first major trophy since Sir Alex Ferguson left and this will be their first FA cup final since 2004, Palace on the other hand looks to win a major trophy in their 111-year history and they finished 15th in the premier league this season under Alan Pardew.
Pardew has taken part in 2 FA cup finals losing both, one as a player when he played for Crystal Palace as Man Utd defeated Crystal palace in 1990 and the other as a West Ham Coach beaten by Liverpool 3-1 in 2006 on penalties. Van Gaal is under pressure to save his job as he thinks a FA cup triumph will be enough to secure his job despite his inability to qualify for next season's champions league.
Joe Ledley is Palace's only absentee as pardew looks to pick from an almost fit squad. United welcome fit agin trio,Marcos Rojo,Matteo Darmian and Morgan Schneiderlin as well as suspended Maroune Felliani. Manchester United  will level with Arsenal on 12 FA cup trophies after Arsenal won it for the last 2 consecutive seasons.
           Barcelona Vs Sevilla(Sunday 20:30) Copa Dey Rey
Having won the Europa league on Wednesday, Sevilla look to win 2 major trophies in a space of 5 days as they face Barcelona on sunday in Copa dey rey final which promise to be an entertaining match as Barcelona want to win a domestic double having won the La liga title last weekend.
Sevilla have confirmed that defender Timothee 'kolo' Kolodziejczak will miss the match after allegedly shouting 'son of a bitch' to one match official in Sevilla's final game in La liga and has been given a 4 matches ban. Barcelona forward Luis Suarez who is already on 59 goals over the season looks to break Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 61 goals in a season,the Uruguayan man scored a hat-trick to crown Barcelona La liga title last weekend. It promises to be an exciting contest as both teams looks hungry for more success.
                Juventus Vs AC Milan(Saturday 19:45) Coppa Italia
Juventus look to win domestic double for the second straight season and third time in their five year run of Scudetto. AC Milan have not be brilliant over the years,as their level of performance has dropped with Juventus dominating Italian football. Juventus won both of the meetings with AC Milan this season and it has to be said that AC Milan has lost their last seven matches against Juventus and it remains to be seen if AC Milan will turn up a good performance in the final.
            Bayern Munich Vs Borussia Dortmund (Saturday 19:00) DFB pokal final
The final at Berlin's Olympic stadium will be Pep Guardiola's last match at Bayerm as they look for their 3rd domestic double in four seasons. Dortmund are the first German club to reach a major final in five consecutive years though they have lost their last three. They defeated Bayern 5-2 in 2012 final but lost to Bayern in 2013 Champions league final and the 2014 German cup final. They also lost to Wolfsburg 3-1 in Jurgen Klopp's last game last season.
With Mats Hummels confirming last week that he will be a Bayern player next season, we look forward to seeing how well he will perform in his last game for BVB  against his so called new team.
