Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Hull City. My name is Tom Adams and I'm sat in Wembley's press room to bring you the build-up ahead of our 5pm kick-off.

Well, it appears that Arsenal already have this one in the bag. That's according to Gunners striker Yaya Sanogo, anyway. The Frenchman has taken to Twitter to taunt Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Potential embarrassment for the striker?!

What do you think to this, folks? Arsenal fans are being handed these quite incredible leaflets outside of the ground. Do you think it could possibly take off, or will the Brits laugh off the Americanism? I, for one, would quite enjoy hearing this today - should Arsenal score, of course...

For Hull, the lesser-known Matty Fryatt - according to Lukas Podolski (see 15:45) - starts up front. Strikers Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long are both cup tied, so the former Leicester and Walsall striker is given the nod. And though Podolski and the rest of his Arsenal teammates may not know of Fryatt, he has netted 10 goals in 13 FA Cup starts for the Tigers, including seven in his last eight.

Back to the team news quickly, and, as Tom mentioned, Lukasz Fabianski starts in net for Arsenal having played in every round of this competition. Last year, ex-Man City boss Roberto Mancini dropped Costel Pantilimon for Joe Hart, despite the Romanian stopper helping the Citizens to reach the showpiece event. No such heartbreak for Fabianski today, however.

The weather is glorious, the fans are in fine spirits and the two teams are sure to be pumped up for their final match of the season. A chance to re-write the history books for Hull, who will look to win this competition for the first time, and an opportunity for Arsenal to get their hands on a long-overdue bit of silverware. I hope you’re ready, folks – this is going to be spectacular.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman. I’m Josh Hayward and I’ll be taking over from Tom Adams and taking you through the rest of the coverage of the FA Cup final from Wembley Stadium.

So there you have it: Lukasz Fabianski starts for Arsenal in place of Szczesny. No other surprises in the Arsenal team as Bacary Sagna prepares to play his final game. As for Hull, they start with three centre-backs and two wing-backs.

Apologies to Hull fans, but whatever happens today, the big story is Wenger and Arsenal's nine-year trophy drought. It seems so long ago since they lifted the FA Cup in 2005 - mostly because it is.

The FA Cup final used to be one of the most magical days in the football calendar but there's no doubting its sheen has dulled somewhat. In fact, plenty of English people may well watch the final day in La Liga instead today, which also kicks off at 5pm. I'd recommend staying here of course, but why not open up a tab to follow Barcelona v Atletico Madrid too?

When asked about Hull City striker Matty Fryatt this week, Lukas Podolski replied: "Who? Who is this?" Do they still pin things up on dressing room walls? If so, that's the quote to go with if you are Bruce.

The Sun are reporting that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is out of today's match but will be okay for the World Cup finals.

Ladies and gentlemen, Nicklas Bendtner...

Who might prove to be the hero at Wembley today? The stats gurus at Whoscored have pinpointed a certain Welsh midfielder who started the season superbly well and has recently returned from injury....

Steve Bruce: "Everybody enjoys a shock and if you're not an Arsenal fan I'm sure the rest of the world will be rooting for Hull. The reality is it's a one-off, and it's a place where heroes are made. Who can be that hero and go and win us the FA Cup? The memories of the FA Cup are the ones you cherish when you've finished your playing career. The ones you really remember are your FA Cup days and, believe me, it's far better when you've won one than when you've lost one."

Arsene Wenger: "I love to win. Your fans love you to win. Your fans will be happy when you win trophies. Look, it has become a way to think for everybody like that. If you look at the overall consistency nobody has finished in the Champions League in England for 18 years. Nobody. But it is true that because we are used to win every year, basically, and suddenly you don’t win, it becomes a way of thinking [for critics]."
