Arsenal have won the FA Cup on 13 occasions

Some try to belittle the prestige of the FA Cup by saying it doesn’t matter in the wider range of matters. But you say that to the big teams, who have all gone out of their way to win the tournament in recent years. Since 2009, the FA Cup has been won by either Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City or Manchester United in 8 out of the past 9 editions.

Last year’s FA Cup semi-finals were filled by Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal, four of the biggest teams in England. So, it’s farcical to say this cup isn’t prestigious, everybody wants to win it. Even from a managerial perspective, all of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino and Arsène Wenger are under pressure to win silverware this season and the FA Cup offers a great opportunity.
