What time and TV channel is Arsenal v Chelsea in Ireland? FA Cup final all you need to know

Arsenal and Chelsea go head to head on Saturday evening in the highly anticipated FA Cup final.

Irish fans of both teams will be glued to their TVs as the final game of the English season plays out from Wembley.

The teams each come into the final in good form having pulled off upsets in the semi-final with both Manchester sides dumped out.

A win for either team would be Mikel Arteta or Frank Lampard's first piece of silverware as manager of their respective clubs.

Here's all you need to know;

What time is kick-off?

As has become the norm in recent years, Wembley’s showpiece event will kick-off at 5.30pm.

Unlike all other FA Cup Finals - but in keeping with all football in the UK since June - it will be an eerie experience with no fans allowed into the national stadium.

What TV channel is it on?

The Wembley showdown between two of the FA Cup’s most successful clubs will be shown on both BBC One and BT Sport here in Ireland.

Coverage on BBC will begin at 4.30pm while BT’s matchday programme will start at 4.15pm.

What are the odds?

Chelsea are strong favourites to win the Cup at 8/13 , having finished the Premier League season 10 points clear of The Gunners and having beaten Arsenal at The Emirates in December.

But don't discount the 5/4 on offer for Mikel Arteta's men.
