Jack Wilshere says that his Arsenal teammates cannot reflect on the 2014-15 campaign with pride if they lose to Aston Villa in the upcoming FA Cup final.

Jack Wilshere has warned his Arsenal teammates that their season hinges on beating Aston Villa in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.

The Gunners, who came third, finished a disappointing 13 points behind Premier League champions Chelsea and also saw their bid to finish second scuppered late on.

Arsene Wenger's side face the Villans this weekend hoping to salvage another piece of silverware for the second year running, having also won the competition last year.

The 23-year-old told BBC Sport: "I think that will define if we have a good season or not.

"We wanted to get to second this year but unfortunately we couldn't manage that so now we're looking to finish the season off with the cup."

The North Londoners edged out Hull City 3-2 after extra time to clinch the title in 2014.
