a second successive major cup final, Petr Cech will be among the Arsenal substitute­s, with David Ospina starting in goal. I thought it was a massive call for Wenger to play Ospina in last season’s FA Cup final. Wenger shows loyalty to his players and his second-choice goalkeeper­s are no different. For the FA Cup final against Hull in 2014, after nine years without a trophy, Wenger picked Lukasz Fabianski — who had played in all the earlier rounds — over No 1 Wojciech Szczesny. During our Double season, Alex Manninger came in for six games to replace the injured David Seaman and kept a clean sheet in each. As Manninger did not play enough games to win a title medal, I believe Wenger gave him his own.
