Arsenal have been putting together their final plans as they prepare for their final game of the season against Aston Villa in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Manager Arsene Wenger is left with a few key decisions still to make as he watched his squad train at their London Colney base in the rain on Friday morning.
Among those in action, Olivier Giroud is likely to spearhead the Gunners attack, despite Theo Walcott's superb hat-trick against West Brom last week. While Jack Wilshere is also set to start from the bench, despite his superb goal in their final Premier League game.
One certain starter, Aaron Ramsey, who scored the winning goal as they beat Hull 3-2 in last season's final, is hopeful they can continue their run of silverware.
'Hopefully we can win the FA Cup this year,' he said. 'Then that'll be two things in two years so hopefully we can just keep that run of winning things going.'
'Back-to-back finals are not an easy thing to achieve. In the second half of the season we have shown the form that we need throughout the season to win this league.
'We certainly showed that we are capable of going on these big runs and not losing too many games.
'If we can just show that consistency throughout the season then we'll be challenging for the Premier League, and that's what we'll be looking to do next year.'
Arsenal will be playing in a record 19th FA Cup final on Saturday, one more than Manchester United, while victory will mean they also clinch their 12th Cup triumph, one more than United's 11.Source:Dailymail.
