Not quite 'commander of the armies of the north..'

This could also be the final appearance in a Manchester United shirt for Michael Carrick. The former West Ham and Tottenham man joined United in 2006 and he's never won the FA Cup.

Incredibly - for those of us who grew up with Sir Alex Ferguson's mob winning the trophy every year - United haven't won the cup since 2004. Juan Mata is the only member of the United squad who has won the trophy.

With Chelsea.

And Hibs have won it! Their first Scottish Cup win since 1902.

Read the reaction here. 

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on BBC One: "It would mean a lot for me of course but that's a personal aim. I want to lift a title here and the FA up is a very important title in England. But it is more important for the club and the fans.

"You have to compare in the moment and at this moment we think how we play against Palace means that Juan Mata will be more the man than Jesse Lingard. You compare in this moment - next week it could be the other way around.

"We have to fight until the end and never give up because we have shown on this road to Wembley we have scored in the last minutes."

A familiar looking Manchester United side to be honest - Marcos Rojo is back in at full-back and what an afternoon for Marcus Rashford. What a year...

Man Utd will pull level with Arsenal's record of 12 FA Cup successes with victory today.

Is Jason Puncheon unlucky to miss out this afternoon? Here are the 11 men Alan Pardew has picked out.

Speaking of late cup final drama, Hibs have just taken the lead in the 92nd minute...

Read all about it.

If you had forgotten, Alan Pardew is referring to the 2006 FA Cup final when Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard whistled in a last-minute equaliser to deny his West Ham side victory.

He was moments away from glory...

Crystal Palace

More from Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew, speaking to BBC Sport:  "I've come close to winning the FA Cup, I couldn't come closer than I did with West Ham in 2006. This team needs to understand how historic it would be for the club to win. It's not just another game, we've made it special, the whole build-up has been fantastic but the only way you really enjoy it is to win."

On leaving out Jason Puncheon: "A tough call that. Personally he and I are close, but I had to do what I thought was right for this team. He's got a little bit of anger in his belly, and that's not a bad thing from the bench so long as you can channel it."

Danny Murphy
Ex-Liverpool midfielder at Wembley on BBC One

"Scott Dann has been Palace's best defender this season by a long way. He's good in his positional play and a good footballer as well. He demands a lot from the players around him. I think he's more than capable of being in the England squad."

Former Tottenham boss on 5 live Sport

"Palace beat four Premier League sides on the way without replays. United have beaten two. Palace beat good sides in Spurs and Southampton, and Stoke and Watford. 

"I like David against Goliath and I hope Palace score first. Scott Dann has been consistent for several years."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew, speaking to BBC Sport: "As a professional football manager you just think about the future. You can't change the past, but I can change the future. We've done everything we can to prepare this team and we're going to give Manchester United a tougher game than we did in 1990, if not more. 

"In the modern era there are a lot of quality players, players you would never have expected at Palace. Cabaye, Dann; top, top players. We feel we're the underdogs but our players can hurt United and they will fear that. It's a good match-up. We want to win and we think we're going to give you a fantastic game."

Ruud Gullit
Ex-Chelsea manager at Wembley on BBC One

"Daley Blind is a typical Dutch product of how defenders should play. He gives you real creativity from the back, he's excellent on the ball and he reads the game very, very well.

"I think playing in England's helped him become a better player, and with Chris Smalling he's got a great partnership."

A win today and Palace would not only gain their first 'major'* trophy, but they would also be in Europe next season for the first time in their history.

*That's if you don't count the Zenit Data Systems cup. Which I do

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick on BBC One: "It's just another game for us. It didn't matter how far away we stayed - it's another day at the office. We're all desperate to win it. We have enough experience to handle today. It's been too long since we've won something and it's a given that today will be tough and we're not taking anything lightly."

Unlikely season? You bet. Quite literally. A double on Leicester to win the Premier League and Crystal Palace to bring home the Cup would have quoted at 205,040/1 at the start of the season. If anyone is sweating on that to come in - GET IN TOUCH...
