FA Cup 2017 Final: Arsenal v Chelsea

[Jezza]

The FA Cup Semi Final matches are now completed as Chelsea and Arsenal have advanced to the FA Cup Final for 2017.

Chelsea will be seeking their first or possibly second silverware under Antonio Conte. Arsenal will be seeking their first trophy in two years, last winning silverware in the Community Shield final against Chelsea in 2015.

Chelsea last made an FA Cup Final in 2012 defeating Liverpool 2-1. On the other hand, Arsenal will be looking to add to their FA Cup tally as they look to win their third FA Cup Final in four seasons.

This will be an FA Cup Final rematch as both sides played each other in 2002, with Arsenal defeating Chelsea 2-0 in that final.

Arsene Wenger - greatest Manager in FA Cup history. That's 7 for his Arsenal teams and 3 in 4 years.

Well done, Gunners.

Arsenal with some redemption in a poor year.
