Arsenal vs Chelsea live stream: Watch FA Cup final online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal and Chelsea clash in a match of opposite mind sets, which is sure to breed a great match. Here is all you need to know and where to watch.
Arsenal have only ever found success in the FA Cup these past 12 or so years of hanging around in the top four, but never mounting much of a serious, drawn out challenge. But this FA Cup is different because rather than having to face Hull City or Aston Villa, they had to go through Manchester City to face Chelsea, who had to go through Tottenham.

Still, Chelsea have won the Premier League, are overflowing with confidence while the Gunners are left disappointed after another lackluster season and face an uncertain future.
It’s a clash of mindsets here. Somehow Arsene Wenger is going to have to lift up some sort of winners mentality in a team that has been devoid of it for a decade. And of all the things Le Prof is known for, motivating isn’t one of them.

Chelsea are the future of the Premier League. They constantly mold to the modernizing of the game, bringing in exciting managers who aren’t afraid to try new things and push the envelope. And their signings match that mindset.
Arsenal are the past, desperate to find a future. They have stuck stubbornly to their guns, refusing to acclimatize to the modern era. Blatantly refusing, as Sir Chips Keswick has admitted that the team will not adopt a modern wage structure.
That’s quite the clash already, not to mention it is a London Derby, a heated rivalry and more.
On the injury front, the Gunners are thoroughly decimated, as they will be without Laurent Koscielny (suspension), Gabriel Paulista (knee), Shkodran Mustafi (doubtful, head) and Kieran Gibbs has been out of training all week with a sore thigh as well.
That means that Per Mertesacker will be the glue holding this team together, and if that doesn’t fill you with confidence, you aren’t alone. But the Gunners are a tricky bunch, capable of upsets and random bouts of undefeatability. It’s wholly unpredictable as far as when it will strike, but you never know.
The stories are there. Tons of them. So let’s get watching, and here is how to do that:
