Wojciech Szczesny is set to start in goal for Arsenal at Wembley.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger faced a dilemma over his keepers but is believed to have chosen Szczesny ahead of current No.1 David Ospina.

Szczesny, who was left out in favour of Lukasz Fabianski last year, said: “I did get a medal last season but it hasn’t got the full flavour if you didn’t play in the final. This year I’m hoping I can claim that trophy and be satisfied.

“Last year it was a straightforward decision. Lukasz played throughout the competition and I knew he would play in the final.

“This year I only missed the first game and have played the rest, but it’s the manager’s decision.”

Likely lineups

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis; Giroud (4-2-3-1)

Aston Villa XI: Given; Bacuna, Vlaar, Okore, Richardson; Cleverley, Westwood, Delph; Grealish; Agbonlahor, Benteke (4-3-1-2)
