Saturday will see Arsenal and Chelsea go head-to-head at Wembley for the FA Cup. The final will be an all-London affair, with one club from the capital set to emerge victorious.
The Blues chase after a league and cup double, having already conquered the English top-flight. The Gunners look to salvage a disappointing season by winning silverware.
However, a selection headache has Wenger’s men at a huge disadvantage. Here we bring the latest team news ahead of the final.
Arsenal
Wenger’s hopes of winning a record seventh title are in huge danger due to a selection headache. The Frenchman will face the Premier League champions without several key players.
The biggest absentee is Laurent Koscielny. The center-back received a straight red in the final game of the Premier League season, thus ruling him out of the final. The Frenchman is joined by the injured Gabriel Paulista and Shkodran Mustafi – the latter is recovering from a concussion.

This means an unfamiliar Monreal-Mertesacker-Holding back three will be fielded. To make matters worse, Petr Cech picked up a knock during training, according to the Guardian, and will be replaced by David Ospina.
Chamberlain, Alexis, and Gibbs are all expected to recover in time for the game.
Possible lineup: Ospina; Monreal, Mertesacker, Holding; Gibbs, Ramsey, Xhaka, Chamberlain; Alexis, Ozil; Giroud
Chelsea
Conte has little to worry about, meaning a near-fully fit squad is at his disposal. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is out with a back injury, but he is Antonio’s only worry.
The Italian manager fielded several of his star players on the final day of the season in order to make sure everyone is fit for the FA Cup final.
Possible lineup: Courtois; Cahill, Luiz, Azpilicueta; Alonso, Matic, Kante, Moses; Hazard, Pedro; Costa
