Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has said that his side will be the underdogs when they face Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

The Villans booked their place in the final by coming from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley this afternoon.

"We will be the underdogs," Sherwood told BBC Sport. "The pressure is on Arsenal as they are the holders."

"For now we have to put the final on the backburner. There is a lot of hard work between now and that game. It'll be a great occasion for the football club but nothing is won yet.

"We need to secure our safety and then come back and take the game to Arsenal."

Villa last reached the FA Cup final in 2000.
