Arsenal XI vs Chelsea: Mikel Arteta’s Predicted FA Cup Final selection

RB: Hector Bellerin 

The Spaniard has been rotated back in following a long-term injury but Arteta has always selected him for the bigger games – such as the semi-final. Bellerin will now aim to win a third FA Cup after victories in 2015 and 2017.

CB: Rob Holding

With Shkodran Mustafi sidelined after having surgery on a hamstring injury picked up in the semi-final win against Man City, Arteta is expected to opt for Holding who has started two matches since.

CB: David Luiz

Having faced a lot of stick, David Luiz has proved his worth in recent weeks with some commanding displays. The Brazilian will hope to win his third FA Cup against the club he won the trophy twice with.

LB: Kieran Tierney 

A winner of two Scottish Cups with Celtic, Kieran Tierney will be aiming to add an FA Cup winner’s medal to his collection. Injuries hampered the Scot’s start to his Arsenal career, but he has been solid and dependable since the restart.
