Arsenal to face Chelsea in 2020 FA Cup final

Arsenal will face Chelsea in the 2020 FA Cup final on August 1.

The Gunners booked their place in the final with a brilliant 2-0 win over holders Manchester City on Saturday evening, with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the hero with a brace.

Their London rivals went one better in terms of goals scored as they put three past Manchester United this evening.

Olivier Giroud broke the deadlock shortly before half-time before Mason Mount benefitted from a David de Gea error to double the Blues' lead and an own-goal from Harry Maguire put the tie out of United's reach.

Bruno Fernandes did reduce the deficit with a penalty, but there was to be no dramatic comeback in the final 10 minutes plus injury time.

As a result, it will be an all-London affair at the national stadium next month as Arsenal and Chelsea meet in a repeat of the 2002 and 2017 finals.

It was the Gunners who came out on top in both of those meetings, but the Blues did win last season's Europa League final 4-1.

But who will emerge victorious at the beginning of next month?
