Hello and welcome to our coverage of the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Aston Villa at Wembley. It’s been a dismal few days for football, what with Sepp Blatter winning re-election yesterday, so let’s treat this as a prestigious palette-cleanser and a reminder that football isn’t all about shady back-room deals and FBI raids – it’s the glory game, where legends are made and history rewritten.

Speaking of legends and history, if Arsenal win today then they will become the first club ever to win the FA Cup 12 times, taking them one clear of Manchester United, with Arsene Wenger set to become the first manager to win it six times in the modern era. The last man to do so was former Aston Villa boss George Ramsay, who achieved the feat all the way back in 1920.
