ARSENAL v CHELSEA: FA CUP FINAL FACTS

THIS will be the second FA Cup final contested between Arsenal and Chelsea. The Gunners triumphed in the 2002 FA Cup final in Cardiff 2-0, with goals from Ray Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg. A WIN for Arsenal would see them claim their 13th trophy, moving them one ahead of Manchester United on 12. IF CHELSEA were to win, it would move them to eight FA Cup trophies alongside Tottenham (third overall). SEVEN of the last 11 FA Cups will have been won by either Arsenal or Chelsea. SHOULD Arsenal lift the trophy, Arsene Wenger would set a record for most FA Cup wins as a manager (7, currently on 6 with George Ramsay). ANTONIO CONTE could become the fifth Italian boss to win the FA Cup. CHELSEA haven’t lost any of their last four FA Cup finals, all of which have been contested at Wembley (2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012). THIS IS Arsenal’s 20th FA Cup final appearance, the most in history. They haven’t lost any of their last five Cup finals since losing to Liverpool in 2001. JOHN TERRY is the only current Chelsea player still at the club who was part of the squad that beat Liverpool in 2012. He has been captain for Chelsea’s last four FA Cup wins.
