This is the third time Arsenal and Chelsea have faced each other in the Final. No fixture has been played more in the Final.

Mikel Arteta's side currently hold the record with 13 FA Cup title wins. However, another win today would put them clear two clear of United, who have 12 FA Cup wins. 

 

 

 

"It will be strange to have no fans at the final. We are getting used to it, that is not to say we like it because we want the fans back. We have to respect current circumstances, particularly with what is happening in the last few days [with new restrictions in response to coronavirus case numbers in parts of England]. We respect that in everything we do."

"It doesn’t affect preparations. It still means the same thing because a trophy like this one either stays with you for life or is pretty quickly forgotten if you are a losing finalist. Of course you would love the fans to be there, our fans have been great for us all season and I am sure Arsenal will say the same, and the fans love days like this to come and support their team and players thrive on that."

"But I am very much looking forward to the Cup final, no matter the different circumstances surrounding it. The fact remains the FA Cup is a huge cup that we want to try to win and we have a very tough match against a London derby rival."

"We are very excited, it is such a special day, in the country and in this competition. We are a club that is very much linked with it with the amount of times that we have won it, so we want to do it again. For me, as well, it is so special that it is in my first season in charge in a final with the team and the boys are really excited and looking forward top the game tomorrow."

"I don't know if it's nervousness, it's just that you are anxious for the day to come, to play that occasion, to be on that pitch. Because of all the preparation and when you are sitting in that hotel next to Wembley and you see all that atmosphere and all the families, you just want to go on that pitch and start the game and grab that trophy as quickly as possible. It's the same feeling that I have today. I want it to already be tomorrow, I want to be there and to feel my players and go out there and win that trophy."
