Villa's additional FA Cup final allocation has now sold out.

We will have 25,000 fans cheering us on at Wembley as we look to get the better of Arsenal in the showpiece on Saturday May 30, kick-off 5.30pm.

Villa have beaten Blackpool, Bournemouth, Leicester, West Brom and Liverpool to reach this stage of the world's most prestigious cup competition.

The last time we emerged victorious was 1957 and Tim Sherwood is eager to lead his team to honours as the campaign draws to a close.

Thanks to all our fans for their co-operation during this very busy time for the ticket office.

Enjoy your day at Wembley.

We ask that you don't now call-up looking to purchase tickets for the FA Cup final.

We thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Arsenal will face Premier League rivals Aston Villa in the final of the FA Cup at London’s Wembley Stadium later this month.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has identified three Aston Villa players who pose a threat to his side in the FA Cup final, as per quotes published in The Mirror.

The Gunners will take on their Premier League rivals in the final of the prestigious cup competition at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 30.

“They have Benteke up front who can score goals and is very dangerous on crosses,” Wenger told beIN Sports, as reported by The Mirror.

“They are quick on counter-attacks. They have young players like Grealish who look formidable as well. In midfield, Delph is a very influential midfielder so they can be a very dangerous team.”

So Wenger has identified Benteke, Delph and Grealish as the dangers
See that's what you get by being a sharp as fuck football manager

I'd drop Benteke, Delph and Grealish now. That'll fox him.

[Chris Jameson]

That was my thinking, I'd play Weimann, Cole and Cissokho.

[PeterWithesShin]

Stick young Rushian in midfield, that'll fool Professor Yaffle.

[Clampy]

I'd play young Graham Fenton.

[PeterWithesShin]

Or Young Mr Grace.

It's just dawned on me that the answer to, "Do you think Villa can win the FA Cup?" in my BBC interview on Wednesday should have been, "Do you want to bet against us?" instead of my original response. Kicks self repeatedly.

Well done to all those who got tickets. If anyone somehow ends up with a surplus one i'll be happy to help out.
