Prince William admits he is struggling with nerves ahead of Aston Villa's FA Cup clash with Arsenal.

The Duke of Cambridge is a lifelong Villa supporter and admits he is a nervous wreck just days out from the Wembley decider with the Gunners.

William, who will present the FA Cup trophy to the winning captain, spoke with Gary Lineker on the BBC about the historic fixture as well as the late-season renaissance under Tim Sherwood.

"I'm nervous now. I'm terrified. I've had plenty of Gunner fans come up to me and say, just you wait next week," he said.

"I think it's been an interesting season for Villa, the last two seasons have been quite hard work, being close to relegation.

"The guys have battled through, they've done seriously well. And I'm really excited about Tim's leadership, he's doing a really great job with them."
