Arsenal play against Chelsea tonight in the FA Cup final at Wembley, MySportDab reports. 

The Gunners are hoping to end a poor season by defeating Chelsea and winning the English FA Cup.

A win tonight helps Arsenal qualify for next season’s Europa League after failing to finish in the top 6 in the Premier League.

Arsenal are working on a rebuild under Mikel Arteta after they signed the former Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City.

The Spaniard faces a difficult summer in the transfer market due to poor transfer budget but the a cup win and Europa League qualification would provide a boost.

Arsenal Team News:

Arsenal remain without injured defender Shkodran Mustafi and Kieran Tierney is likely to replace him in defence.

It leaves Arteta to pick between Bukayo Saka, Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles for the left-wing back position.

Calum Chambers, Pablo Mari and Gabriel Martinelli are all not available.

The is also too soon for Bernd Leno (knee) so Emiliano Martinez will start between the sticks.

Arsenal Predicted XI vs Chelsea: Martinez, Luiz, Bellerin, Holding, Tierney, Maitland-Niles, Ceballos, Xhaka, Lacazette, Pepe, Aubameyang.

Chelsea Team News

Kepa Arrizabalaga was dropped for Chelsea’s last match of the season vs Wolves and could be dropped again.

Now, the Spaniard faces the same fate this weekend, and Willy Caballero is ready to take his place.

Lampard will most likely play a back three in defence, just like against Manchester United in the semi-final.

Kurt Zouma, Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger should start, with Marcos Alonso and Reece James acting as wing-backs.

In midfield, Lampard could give N’Golo Kante his return to action after missing out for weeks.

Kante will likely to play with Mateo Kovacic.

In attack, Christian Pulisic might retain his place in the team but Lampard needs to make a decision on Willian.

The Brazilian suffered a knock recently and may only be on bench.

That leaves Mason Mount and striker Olivier Giroud to lead the attack for Lampard.

Chelsea Predicted Line-up Vs Arsenal: Caballero, Rudiger, James, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Alonso, Kovacic, Kante, Giroud, Mount, Pulisic.
