Man Utd And Chelsea In FA Cup Final

Manchester United and Chelsea will play FA Cup Final on Saturday at the new Wembley Stadium. United clinched their first Premiership title since 2003 after a superb season, while Chelsea, who won the Carling Cup in March, will be hoping to double their trophy count.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes the omens are with his side. "Knowing our history and record in the FA Cup, we're going to win it," he said. "You wouldn't expect us to go into it thinking we've got the Premier League, that's enough. It doesn't work that way."

United will play without injury-victims Gary Neville and Louis Saha.  Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack will be missing for Chelsea side.

"I think that 14 or 15 players have been carrying us right through the whole of March and April and the beginning of May," Ferguson said.

Mourinho said leading the side out in an FA Cup final at Wembley fulfilled a childhood dream.

"I'm not English but it's a special final because it's the new Wembley and it means a lot," Mourinho said.

"For me, it means remembering my youth, when I was a young fan and in love with the game. There were a few trophies I always dreamed of winning, a few matches I always dreamed of participating in, and the FA Cup Final was one of those.”
