Not content with currently starring in the current issue of GQ Style wearing the suits exclusively made for the team by fashion powerhouse Lanvin, Arsenal have gone on to reach the final of the oldest association football contest in the world: the FA Cup, taking place this Saturday.

This year sees current holders Arsenal take on Aston Villa at the spiritual home of football, Wembley stadium. Arsenal surely start as favorites: not only are they current champions but also have recorded the most amount of victories alongside Manchester Utd in this competition with eleven wins. A strong finish to the season concluding with a 4-1 thumping of West Brom and a hat trick by a certain Theo Walcott will probably have the team's confidence riding high.

Aston Villa on the other hand - threatened for most of the season with relegation - have, along with manager Tim Sherwood, masterminded their premier league safety. As an added bonus the side have a rejuvenated super-striker Christian Benteke ready to do some damage.

The FA cup has always being the football season's headline act, not just nationally but globally and has created some of the sports greatest moments, from the incredible Stanley Matthews at the age of 38 dazzling the crowds in 1953, to Wimbledon's crazy gang shocking the football world by winning the cup in 1988.

Guarenteed there will be drama, laughter and tears on the terraces. However, thanks to Alber Elbaz's skill with the tailoring scissors, you might get a rare style moment on the field moment - imagine more more fashionable flashback to those white suits worn in 1996 by the legendary Liverpool FC.

Mesut Özil on his other pursuits:

"I think as a human being you need variety; you can't just do football, you need a combination. Football is of course my main focus, which is a lot of fun and I love to be on the pitch.

But I have other interests beside that, like fashion or being with my family."

Mesut Özil on taking care of himself:

"I bring my own grooming kit to the game... moisturiser, gel and shampoo - I like to take care of myself...

Football players like to take care of themselves and pay attention to the way they dress."

Olivier Giroud on his fans imitating his style:

"Yes, they try to do the quiff. Especially in France, I see a lot of them. It is funny because they try to imitate me - but it is always a pleasure."

Olivier Giroud on his influences:

"David Beckham is a top man. I love the guy and what he can show in terms of style as well. He's really classy, an icon... When I was young, I looked up to Andriy Shevchenko. He was so elegant, and on the pitch as well."

Alber Elbaz on Lanvin's partnership with Arsenal:

"I don't think that we'd ever, in a million years, think of contacting a football team to do this. I've never been to one football match in my life... I'm flattered they like us and that the whole thing has happened, but it wasn't a part of a publicity machine... maybe the fact we didn't make a big noise around it [has made it a success]."
