Arsenal are to wear their away kit of yellow and blue in the FA Cup final after Aston Villa won the toss to wear their home colours of claret and blue.

The sides will be allocated 25,000 tickets each priced £50, £70, £90 and £120 with 20,000 distributed to counties, leagues, local clubs and charities.

The final kicks off at 5.30pm on Saturday 30 May and Arsenal’s fans will occupy the east section of the stadium while Aston Villa supporters will retain the west end of the stadium which they had for the 2-1 semi-final win over Liverpool last Sunday.

The victors will receive £1.8m and the losers £900,000, according to the Football Association, with the match at Wembley being televised by the BBC and BT Sport.
