The last time they met....

Some brilliant insight from Sportsmail's Martin Keown on the rollercoaster of emotions he endured during the 2002 final.
MARTIN KEOWN: My overriding memory of Arsenal's last FA Cup final with Chelsea in 2002 is one of massive disappointment.

Not disappointment with the result, of course. Arsenal won 2-0 through fabulous goals from Ray Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg on our way to a second double in four years.

But I was gutted that I spent all but one minute of that cup final willing my team-mates on from the sidelines. Up until the day before the game I was convinced I would be on the pitch with them.

Good morning!

A very good morning to you all. I hope you are as excited as I am for this FA Cup final, two talented and exciting teams are ready to take the stage this afternoon.
To help you along the way until the 5.30 kick-off, I will be providing you with some updates throughout the day... as well as some transfer news as and when it comes through.
