Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has no idea if he will play in today's FA Cup final against Aston Villa.

The Poland goalkeeper has featured in all but one of Arsenal's cup matches this season, including the semi-final victory against Reading.

"It would be huge," he told Arsenal Player. "I did get a medal last year 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 fully satisfied.

"Last year it was a straightforward decision for the boss. Lukasz played throughout the competition and I knew from day one that he would play in the final. It was very easy for me to take.

"This year I only missed the first game and have played the rest, but it's the manager's decision. I accept whatever it is but I'm desperate to play."
