For many members of this Arsenal side, it’s a case of ‘been there, done that’.

This final marks an incredibly similar occasion to that of last year, a side who seem like underdogs but when on the day know that they have just as much chance as anyone else.

The Gunners may have acquired the likes of Danny Welbeck and Matthieu Debuchy since the FA Cup win last season, but players like Ramsey, Alexis and Ozil are all used to the big occasions.

Excitement levels will no doubt be just as high, but this time the players will know what it takes to overcome any late nerves or pre-match worries.

With four wins at Wembley in as many appearances, it’s becoming a bit of a second home to Arsene Wenger’s men, and that will no doubt help them on May 30th.

Furthermore, when you look at many of the Villa outfield players, they average an age of under 25. For many of these players it will be the biggest game they have played so far in their career, and the overwhelming atmosphere could get the better of them.
