Christian Pulisic's transition period at Chelsea hit the buffers after his injury midway through the season, but he returned to the side post-lockdown at the top of his game.

The American ace struck four times and made as many assists during that period to play a key role in helping Chelsea to a fourth-place finish. Now guiding the Blues to a FA Cup win after what's been a successful debut campaign would be the icing on the cake for Pulisic.

Left-winger: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)

There's no better Arsenal player at the moment than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

No striker has scored more in the Premier League than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ever since he joined Arsenal in January 2018.

And that's something from a player who's so underrated but scored another 22 goals for the season. He shot down reigning champions Manchester City in the semifinals with a compelling double and would be chomping at the bit for the chance to go up against Chelsea's ramshackle defence.

Striker: Oliver Giroud (Chelsea)

Olivier Giroud has been very crucial to Chelsea since the restart.

Tammy Abraham is a rising star who's had an amazing breakthrough season, but the in-form Chelsea striker right now is Oliver Giroud.

The former Arsenal player has been on a tear after the restart, netting seven times from 11 games. He was on target against his ex-colleagues in last year's Europa League final too.

Just 14 months on, Giroud looks determined to inflict his old club another major upset.
