Chelsea dreaming of a double

Kante to sign-off on a high

Those with a bit more confidence in Chelsea should know they won half of those 10 to nil, and that’s a 23/10 shot. As well as having the power of the stats behind them, Chelsea, targeting their first league and FA Cup double in seven years, are also the pick of our traders, 3/4 to win the match, 2/5 to lift the trophy.

N’Golo Kante has had critics raving this season, on the back of a stunning run of form in the blue of the Stamford Bridge boys. Fancy him to sign-off on a high? We have Kante priced at a cracking 10/1 to get the man of the match award in the final, while former Gunner Cesc Fabregas to lead the way goes at the same price.

Arsenal finishing with a flurry

Saturday’s final rates as Arsenal’s last roll of the dice to salvage anything from what has been a nightmare season. It could – very possibly – be the last match with long-serving manager Arsene Wenger at the helm. The Frenchman, now disliked by just about everyone in the stands, has refused to be drawn on his own future in the build up, but if fans have their way, he’ll win the match and then go off into the sunset, taking many of his underachieving playing staff with him.

The Gunners came in for no end of stick this season, but that was, perhaps, a little harsh on the north Londoners. They missed out on a top-four finish by a single point, and ended the campaign with five wins in-a-row, beating the likes of Man Utd, Southampton and Everton with a bit to spare during that purple patch. Will they upset the odds, and wreck Chelsea’s double dream on Saturday at Wembley?

Our football betting team really can’t see it happening, and there’s a chunky 10/3 if you fancy the underdogs to spring a surprise, while they go 15/8 in the ‘lift the trophy’ market. Arsenal did pick up a 1-0 victory when last meeting Chelsea at this venue, in the Community Shield at the start of last season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain getting the winner. The England midfielder is a stunning 20/1 to break the deadlock here.
