Prince William "nervous" for Aston Villa ahead of FA Cup final

Prince William has revealed that he is nervous ahead of Aston Villa's showdown against Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

The Duke of Cambridge has been a loyal supporter of the Villans for many years and will be at Wembley on Saturday to present the trophy to the winning captain.

He has admitted that he has been delighted with the way Tim Sherwood's men have performed in the competition and under the tenure of the 46-year-old since his arrival at the club in February.

Prince William told BBC Sport: "I will be nervous on Saturday - I am nervous now. In fact, I am terrified. I have plenty of Gunners fans telling me, 'just you wait.'

"I am very nervous. It's been an interesting season but the boys have battled through. They have done seriously well. I am really excited with Tim's leadership. He's doing a really great job."

Villa last lifted the FA Cup back in the 1956-57 season.
