Arch-rivals Arsenal and Chelsea are set to lock horns in the Emirates FA Cup title for the first time in 15 years and the build-up to this high profile London Derby has been nothing short of ecstatic, to say the least. After a successful league campaign with Chelsea in his first season, which saw the Blues register the highest number of wins (30) by a side in a league campaign, Antonio Conte will be eyeing the classic English double. However, his counterpart Arsene Wenger has had little to cherish in what could be his final season after the club failed to secure Champions League football for the first time in 20 years.
Arsenal came out on top as the better side when the two sides met on the same occasion back in 2002, thanks to goals from Ray Parlour and Fredrik Ljungberg but the teams have had different fortunes ever since. It’s safe to say that Chelsea will go into the game as favourites after their prolific league campaign but Arsenal on the other hand will be looking to salvage some pride by becoming the most successful side in the history of the oldest cup competition in the world
