Arsenal are firm favorites to retain their FA Cup title by beating Aston Villa at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners have finished the season on a high with an emphatic 4-1 victory over the Baggies on the final day of the Premier League campaign.
Walcott and Wilshere were on fire for the North Londoners, however it is likely that the duo may not start the final.
Here is how Arsenal’s starting XI may look like against Aston Villa.
As far as the team news is concerned, confirmed update has been provided be manager Arsene Wenger and the only injury concern for now is Danny Welbeck.
Wenger stated that Mikel Arteta and Debuchy, who have been out for major part of this season are fit and available for the game. It remains to be seen whether the duo will get the nod to start.
However, Danny Welbeck has been ruled out of the FA Cup final as Arsene claimed:
“Danny Welbeck is out still. He will not be fit for us or for England. That’s basically the only injury we have at the moment. His bone bruising at the knee was not healed and that he absolutely had to rest.”
Welbeck’s absence should not really be a problem with Giroud and Walcott in form. On the other hand, the likes of Alexis, Cazorla and Ozil are fit and running and should torment Villa.

Mr wenger need to start theo walcot for this match.final is not place to try players if they are fit or not.please let wenger use those players who destroy westbrom on the last day.
Am in agreement with Daniels Argument. Walcot’s speed and focus on goal is not comparable to any one in Arsenal’s team. The team that played Westbrom should start and needs to bring in substitute early if by half time it is still 0-0 instead of waiting till in the 70’s.
FA Cup how in my opinion Arsenal should line up – Ospina – Bellerini, Gabriel,Koscelni, Monreal,
Coquelin – ( in front of Them) – Wallcot ,Ozil, Cazorla , Sanchez, – Giroud ( up front) – formation – 4 -1 -4 -1
Start the same team that plated against Wes Brom
mr wenger, let theo on the sub bench and start with our previous winning team. theo is weak in terms of defence and he doesn’t want to chase his opponent. so dont start him
