2019/20 FA Cup
Final
Arsenal v Chelsea
Wembley Stadium
London, England
Saturday, 01 August 2020
Kick-Off: 18h30
The
2020 FA Cup final will feature two London giants Arsenal and Chelsea at the Wembley Stadium on 01 August 2020.
The event is officially known as the Heads Up FA Cup final in honour of the Heads Up campaign which aims to encourage the conversation about mental health in football.
The campaign hopes to emphasise that the mental health of players is as important as their physical health.
Arsenal will contest the final after stunning a much-fancied Manchester City side in the semi-finals as the Gunners secured an impressive 2-0 win on 18 July 2020.
While Chelsea booked their place in the final after defeating English football powerhouse Manchester United 3-1 in the last four on 19 July 2020.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles, the Arsenal right-back-cum-winger, is looking forward to their highly-anticipated match against Chelsea.

"It's been a long, tough season without the fans being here and what's gone on in the world," Maitland-Niles said.
"We're just going to have to push on and think about the final now. It hasn't finished for us just yet. The main objective is trying to bring the trophy home.
"We're all bubbly, we're all pretty confident in ourselves. We're going to sleep on it tonight and then go back to work in the week to focus on the final."
The FA Cup winners will enter the group stage of the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League, but Chelsea have already qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League.
Arsenal will be keen to defeat Chelsea in order to qualify for the Europa League having finished eighth in the English Premier League in the 2019/20 campaign.
The last time the Gunners were in the FA Cup final was in 2017 and they secured a 2-1 win over Chelsea to clinch the trophy at the Wembley Stadium.
The Blues also secured a win in their last appearance in the FA Cup final which was in 2018 as they defeated Manchester United 1-0 at the same venue.
