Arsenal 1-0. Typical cagey affair.

I've put a £1 bet on Arsenal to win 3-1 at 8/1 with Coral.
Arsenal to win 3-1. |

Realistically I think Arsenal will win it. I would have preferred Villa to win it, but my head is telling me otherwise.

3-1 Arsenal.
Interesting trying to predict who'll start. Will Wenger stick with Szczesny as is tradition? I hope so, esp as Ospina has been really shaky this past month. I also think Giroud and Ramsey will begin on the bench, Walcott and Wilshere to start. |

I think this will be quite close actually. Don't underestimate Villa, Sherwood will get them fired up and they have a good few match-winners in their team. Plus, Arsenal hardly ever make it easy for themselves do they!?
I do think they'll win though, perhaps in extra time. 3-2 repeat of last year anybody? |

I've been supporting the gunners all my life, so I think its going to be an Arsenal win, probably 3-1 in normal time.
Btw is this the first FA Cup match with a 5:30 kick off time, normally its played from 3pm. |

I think Arsenal will win but I really hope Aston Villa can do it on Saturday, the amount of banter that i'll get from Arsenal fans if they win wont be good

It was a 5:15 kick-off in 2012,2013 and 5:00 last year. |

Yeah hasn't been afternoon time for a few years now.
So much better as an evening KO & of course now on its own weekend. Was stupid when they shoehorned it in the middle of s standard prem weekend for a few seasons... |

Have to agree, I also prefer evening KO, the champions league final is a week later on Saturday evening too. I don't mind watching football on a Saturday evening, when there is absolutely nothing else to watch on a Saturday evening. Over the past few years, I've grown to love a beautiful game of football in the evenings. |

I think having the final in the evening time makes the occasion feel more special. Also regarding the Champions League final being on Saturday's I think that is probably the best decision that UEFA have made in recent years.

Oh god. Just a few hours now. Starting to feel nervous. But also confident?
Anyway the Mirror are saying Szczesny will start, thank god. Predicted starting xi:: Szczesny / Bellerin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal / Coquelin, Cazorla / Wilshere, Ozil, Sanchez / Walcott. That said it's difficult to imagine Ramsey not starting, but also difficult to see where he plays if Cazorla and Walcott both start... This post has been edited by jark: May 30 2015, 10:22 AM |

Wilshere starting as well, I think Ramsey will start ahead of him. |

Giroud looks tired, hasn't scored in eight games. I'd bring him on with about a half hour to spare, unless we're down in the first half and Walcott isn't doing the business.

Anybody watching this then?
Pretty one-sided so far tbh. Great goal from Sanchez though! Really thought Villa would give them a good game but they've froze, especially first half. |
