Owen: Why Chelsea Will Beat Arsenal In FA Cup final


Owen: Why Chelsea Will Beat Arsenal In FA Cup final

Former England international Michael Owen has given reasons why he thinks Chelsea will get the better of Arsenal in Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup final.

Both London rivals square off at a behind-closed-doors Wembley, with Mikel Arteta and Frank Lampard both looking for their first piece of silverware.

Arsenal stunned Manchester City 2-0 in the semi-final, while Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-1 in the second semi-final to book their place.

There is a little more at stake for Arsenal who need to win to ensure qualification for next season’s Europa League.

No other teams have won the trophy more this century than Arsenal and Chelsea, who each have six wins to their name since 2000.

In their last FA Cup final meeting in 2017, Arsenal emerged 2-1 victors to collect their record 13th FA Cup triumph.

But Owen anticipates proceedings could go slightly differently this time round.

“Looking at the game this time around, I believe Chelsea have the better squad and with the Premier League table and recent history both favouring Chelsea as well, I am going for a 2-1 win to the Blues which will hand Frank Lampard his first piece of silverware as a manager,” the former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker told BetVictor .

Lampard has won the trophy four times as a player, and is the sixth Chelsea manager to reach the final in his first season in charge.

Arteta also has three FA Cup winners medals in his cabinet – twice from his playing career with Arsenal, as well as one from last season’s triumph as a coach with Man City.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
