Fixture: Arsenal vs Chelsea
Competition: FA Cup
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)

Arsenal have named their starting eleven and substitutes for the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley this evening.

The Gunners could only finish in fifth spot in the Premier League, which means Europa League football next season, and are looking to win the FA Cup to salvage something from a forgettable campaign.




Arsenal head into the match with defensive worries as Laurent Koscielny is suspended, while Gabriel Paulista is out injured, along with Shkodran Mustafi.

In an effort to guide the Gunners to success, boss Arsene Wenger goes with David Ospina between the sticks, while Rob Holding, Per Mertesacker and Nacho Monreal sit ahead as a back three. Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka are in the centre of the park, with Hector Bellerin and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wide. Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil tuck in behind Danny Welbeck.

If the Frenchman needs to change things from the bench then Olivier Giroud is a striking option, while Theo Walcott and Lucas Perez also offer a goal threat.
