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

FW: Nicolas Pepe

Nicolas Pepe has shown glimpses of the talent he possesses since his club-record move last summer. Although he’s not always been a starter, he performed well in the semi-final against Man City and carries a threat which Chelsea will be wary of.

The Gunners’ outstanding player once again this term with 27 goals in all competitions, including both in the semi-final win against Man City, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang poses the greatest threat to Chelsea. With uncertainty over his future, Arsenal fans will hope an FA Cup win can persuade him to stay.

ST: Alexandre Lacazette

Restored to the starting line-up in recent weeks, the Frenchman will hope to finish a somewhat below par season on a high. The striker played a key part in the lead up to the first goal in the semi-final win at Wembley and will hope to add to his 12 goals this term in this showdown.
