Now it has been confirmed the Londoners will go head-to-head on August 1 at 5.30pm.

The game will be shown live on BBC One and BT Sport 1.

Taylor has been named as referee for the game after previously overseeing the 2017 showdown between the same teams, which Arsenal won 2-1.

Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn will be Taylor’s two assistants.

The fourth official for the game will be Chris Kavanagh and reserve assistant referee has been named as Lee Betts.

Stuart Attwell will take on the role of video assistant referee, alongside assistant VAR Steve Child.

The game, of course, will be played behind closed doors, rather than in front of the usual packed house of 90,000.

Regardless, the game will be particularly special for Olivier Giroud – who scored in the semi-final against United – as he goes up against his former team.

Ahead of the game, Giroud revealed: “I said to the boys I would love to win another one.

“It would be my fifth FA Cup and we are in another final.

“A big game against Arsenal which will be so special for me personally.”
