FA Cup Final: How Arsenal and Chelsea Records In The Final Compare

In the 146-year history of the FA Cup, Saturday's finalists—Chelsea and Arsenal—have made it this far on 30 occasions between them.

Arsenal shares the record for the most successful club in the competition, alongside Manchester United, after lifting the trophy 12 times. On Saturday, Arsene Wenger has the chance to take the lead and win his only trophy of a season that has seen Arsenal miss out on Champions League football.

Antonio Conte has the chance to win the double in his first campaign at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea lifted the Premier League trophy on Sunday.
