Jores Okore determined to guide Aston Villa to victory in FA Cup final

Okore determined to guide Villa to victory

Jores Okore is ready to give his all at Wembley to guide Aston Villa to success in today's FA Cup final against Arsenal.

The Villans have failed to lift the trophy since the 1956-57 season, but Okore is confident that his side can replicate their performance of the semi-final when they defeated Liverpool.

He told the club's official website: "The atmosphere in camp is great. We are all excited, of course, but we're also very focused on the job we've got to do. Now it's all about the final. For many of us, it will be the biggest game of our careers. We want to go out there and leave nothing on the pitch.

"We're determined to do our best and give 100% to get the win. We're ready. Arsenal are a very, very good team. It will be a tough game. They keep the ball well, move the ball well and have very accomplished forwards. They play good offensive football.

"We have to be strong. We believe we can do it. The gaffer is rooting for us. He believes we can win. That gives us even more energy. The way he is - his positivity - has definitely helped us. It has shown with our performances and results out on the pitch."

The final takes place at Wembley at 5.30pm.
