Lampard's Chelsea football club, got a rare win against Manchester United this season when they played in their FA cup final tie at the Old Trafford. Manchester, has won all their previous meetings this season against Chelsea, which left many Manchester fans believing that it could have been an easy win against Chelsea to book their hopes of winning the Cup 13th times. It was a very poor performance from Manchester players which show them lose 3-1 to Chelsea at their home ground.
"Olivier Giroud and Mason Mount scored the two goals for Chelsea, while Harry Maguire from Manchester United scored own goal. Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty for the Red Devils.
Arsenal in the other hand, showed an excellent job against their big rivals Manchester city a team they have lost against in several occasions. The last time arsenal beat Manchester city, was 2017 when they came across them in the same competition also in the same level, the semifinals. Arsenal won against City and booked a place in the finals when they met their London rivals Chelsea. Arsenal went ahead to win the cup in an exemplary beautiful game they played against Chelsea by wining 2-1.
Aubameyang scored both goals for Arsenal in his first appearance in the competition this year while Manchester city failed to see the back of the net.
In this year's Emirates FA cup, the same has happened. This is a repeat of what happened in the last 3 years, but we will have to wait and see if Arsenal wins the cup again.
The most interesting part, Arsenal have rarely lost in the Emirates FA cup which puts them with much hope of winning the cup once again. Considering their position in the premier league, Arsenal have minimal chances of qualifying for Europer league ahead of Sheffield United, wholves, Burney and their north London rivals Spurs.
Chances are, if Arsenal are going to win this Emirates FA cup this year, they will automatically qualify for Europer league next season despite their league position.
Arsenal have missed champions league for consecutive years and they have been left praying in the Europer league instead, in all those years. Last year, it's the year they almost qualified to champions league, when they reached in their Europer league final but lost the chance against Chelsea.
History may repeat itself once again. This is the reason; if Arsenal can not qualify for Europer league by finishing in a good league position, they will be left with only one option of qualifying for Europer league, and that's Winning their FA cup final against Chelsea. But if they fail to win, and lose to Chelsea, it will be the second time Arsenal are denied the European championship by Chelsea after they were denied the same chance last year when Chelsea won their Europer league final. If Arsenal could have won, they could have played in this year's champions league.
It will go in history that Arsenal, for the first time in years, have not qualified for a European competition. Though Arsenal have a chance to redeem themselves. They have shown that they can beat any team in English premier league by beating Pep's City and Liverpool in the same week.
Arsenal is the only team that has qualified in the most FA cup finals with a 21 times record wining the cup 13 times lossing 6 times in their finals. They have a chance to extend their win record if they win it 14th times. Meanwhile, Chelsea qualified for the finals in the 14th round and they have won the competition 7 times lossing in their 6 finals.
What's your opinion in this year's Emirates FA cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea?
