2019/20 FA Cup Final
1st August, Saturday 2020
Wembley Stadium
17:30 Kick Off (UK time)

[DDA 9,690]

One last game lads. Go all out in this one. 

Forget the CL, there is no chance of winning that now.

Grab this cup and cement a great ending to a topsy turvey season.

Can't stand the thought of Arsenal boasting a win over us in a cup final either.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Isn't this 3rd time lucky recently? Lost in 17...lost in 02...

Be nice to finish on such a trophy

[Special Juan 27,429]

Giroud to bully Luiz, we will have too much for them.

[NikkiCFC 7,955]

Both teams will play 3-4-3.

[Milan 17,854]

Revenge for that 2017 final defeat!

[Jase 43,479]

Some random "side effects" on other clubs depending on result...

- If we win, Spurs who finish 6th will go straight into the Europa League group stage and the 7th placed team - Wolves - will get the Europa League spot and start from the 2nd qualifying round. And of course, Arsenal don't qualify for Europe.

- If Arsenal win, they will qualify and go straight into the Europa League group stage and Spurs will have to start the competition from the 2nd qualifying round. Wolves will miss out on Europe.

Our players won't have the disappointment they missed out on CL for this one so we should definitely win this especially against that Arsenal lot. Leno might not even play, hope we grab the title and work on our transfers quietly after that.

Mustafi out of the final with a hamstring injury. 

[Tomo 21,733]

I'm partly worried because we have a habit of throwing away games we dominate and Arsenal have a habit of getting results when they've been outplayed.

But another part of me thinks surely after what happened at Stamford Bridge they've used up all their luck against us for quite some time.

I wasn't too nervous about today odds were in our favour but this one I'm overthinking a bit, can't bear to lose another final to them.

I think we got lucky to win at Emirates. Jorginho should seen red and Leno howler...

That is bad news. You can always bank on a Mustafi error. Not sure they have a cb who is even worse.
we should not take this for granted. We are the superior side on paper but Arteta always has a few aces up his sleeve. Also Aubameyang is in pristine form. Can not allow him any space to be xploit

[King Kante 1,484]

Really want to win this one. Be great to get CL and a FA Cup. That is way beyond what anyone could've expected in August. 

[Special Juan 27,429]

If fit Kante comes in for Jorginho, a midfield 3 of Kante, Mount and Kovacic, with Willian Pulisic and Giroud the three up top.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

As long Luiz has a stinker we should take advantage. I still have bad memories of his header goal for Psg.
