Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood accepts they're "underdogs" for the FA Cup final with Arsenal.

With Premier League status secure ahead of the final match with Burnley, the Villa fans can look forward to their Wembley return and another chance to upset the odds as they did when Liverpool were "bamboozled" in the semi-finals.

"We will be the underdogs, the pressure is on Arsenal to win the cup, they are the holders and want to win it again," said Sherwood, who grew up in Hertfordshire and whose dad is a regular at the Emirates Stadium.

"They are probably the best footballing team in the league and they can make this pitch look big, so we will have to get a plan ready."
