Chelsea and Manchester United fans arrive at Wembley ahead of their eagerly-anticipated FA Cup final


FANS have already gathered outside Wembley ahead of the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United.

It is the first time the two side’s have met in the final since 2007 – which the Blues won courtesy of a late strike from Didier Drogba in extra time.

And the eagerly-anticipated showdown has attracted both sets of supporters already to Wembley, with both club’s looking to finish their season on a high.

A second-place finish for United has failed to inspire much confidence in their team from fans, after finishing 19 points behind rivals Manchester City.

While Chelsea finished outside of the Champions League places, leaving Antonio Conte clinging onto a job.

The ex-Juventus boss has even admitted winning the FA Cup still may result in him being sacked by Roman Abramovich.

United fans will be disappointed to learn the news that star striker Romelu Lukaku will start at Wembley from the bench.

The Belgian international, 25, has been struggling with an ankle injury he picked up against Arsenal last month, and will not be risked by Jose Mourinho.
