Team News: Arsene Wenger continues with Lukasz Fabianski for FA Cup final

Fabianski gets nod

Arsene Wenger has kept faith with goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski for this afternoon's FA Cup final against Hull City.

Fabianski has played in all of the Gunners' FA Cup ties this season and continues between the sticks at Wembley today, with Wojciech Szczesny on the bench.

Wenger makes two changes to the side that beat Norwich City on the final day of the Premier League season, with Per Mertesacker and Santi Cazorla in for Carl Jenkinson and Tomas Rosicky.

Jack Wilshere starts from the bench for the North London side, who are looking to end a nine-year trophy drought with victory over the Tigers.

Hull boss Steve Bruce is unable to start either of his preferred strikers - Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic - as both are cup-tied so Matty Fryatt leads the line.

James Chester, Liam Rosenior and David Meyler also come into the side for the Tigers' first ever FA Cup final.

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta, Ramsey; Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski; Giroud Subs: Szczesny, Vermaelen, Rosicky, Wilshere, Monreal, Flamini, Sanogo

Hull: McGregor; Davies, Bruce, Chester, Rosenior, Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler, Quinn, Fryatt Subs: Harper, McShane, Figueroa, Koren, Boyd, Sagbo, Aluko
