Crystal Palace and Aston Villa meet under the arch at Wembley on Saturday – with a place in the FA Cup final on the line.

Unai Emery's side are hoping to deliver the Birmingham club's first major trophy in nearly three decades, and first FA Cup win since 1957.

The seven-time winners have beaten West Ham, Tottenham, Cardiff and Preston on their way to the semi-final, where they will be looking to shake off their Crystal Palace hoodoo.

The Eagles have been a bogey team for Aston Villa in recent years and have won three of the last four games between the pair – including 4-1 and 5-0 thrashings at Selhurst Park.

The South East Londoners have reached the FA Cup final twice before, most recently in 2016 when they suffered extra-time heartbreak against Man Utd.

Crystal Palace have beaten Stockport, Doncaster, Millwall and Fulham as they look to get their hands on the storied trophy for the first time in their history.

The winner will face either Nottingham Forest or Man City in next month's final.
