I don't know about you guys, but I was welling up watching Heurelho Gomes after Watford's quarter-final win over Crystal Palace.

The 38-year-old keeper is expected to retire after today's game so he didn't mind giving us the truths about some of his team-mates...

You could see an upset because this is the nature of this completion, it's what happens in cup finals all over the world. But what Pep Guardiola has brought to Manchester City is a high level of performance. You know they will play well today. It’s case of Watford getting all the big decisions, playing with incredible bravery and players such as Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu performing well. But Manchester City are big favourites.

It is supposed to be every footballer's dream to one day play in the FA Cup final at Wembley, the world's oldest cup competition at one of its most historic stadiums.

Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue will be realising that dream when he lines up today but the 30-year-old Frenchman readily admits the showpiece final is not ordinarily a game to get him excited - and says he had never even heard of the competition until he left Toulouse to join Tottenham in 2015.

"I don't watch football, I didn't know about the FA Cup even when I was playing in France," he said.

Erm...? Read more from him here.

You wouldn't put it past Man City winning the domestic treble because they are so all-conquering.

It's definitely a David and Goliath situation today.

Sergio Aguero on the bench. Wow! Bet he's absolutely fuming. He'll probably come off the bench and bag a hat-trick now...

It's 35 years since Watford have been here, a whole generation of fans who don't know what it is like. If something special happens today they will be talking about it forever. On the other side, Manchester City are hoping to complete the first domestic treble in the men's game. So whatever happens there's history to be made today.

Watford XI: Gomes, Femenia, Cathcart, Mariappa, Holebas, Hughes, Capoue, Doucoure, Pereyra, Deulofeu, Deeney

Sergio Aguero is on the bench for Manchester City!

Elton is cheering them on too!

Mark Halliwell and Andrew Lines have sent in some nice pictures of themselves supporting Watford at Wembley!

Keep them coming.

Watford have got to keep moving the way they are. They've got to hold onto the key players and add a bit more depth. Leicester and Wolves can make key substitutions but with Watford that’s a bit far stretched.

They've had their excitement in the semi-final, they will have gone through all the preparations this week and it's important to try and keep a lid on everything in the run up to the game.

Especially from Watford's point of view, it's important that they stay focused and in the moment. And I think from what Javi Gracia's done so far this season, they will do.

You have to allow the players to prepare in their own way and make it as normal as you can. The fact you play the semi-final at Wembley helps to prepare for the final as you are not going into the unknown. They have also played Tottenham here so the players are used to coming to Wembley. But it is still the final and you need to get rid of that feeling of the big occasion in your performance.

Any video with a picture of Didier Drogba on is worth watching, right?

Well this one definitely is. It's a compilation of some of the best goals scored in FA Cup finals over the last 25 years.

You're welcome!

Troy Deeney stands alone in the centre-circle, club suit on, making a phone call long after his team-mates have disappeared back into the stadium. And why not?

In a little over an hour he'll be leading his side out for an FA Cup final. And there's something he wouldn't have dared dream of just a few years ago.

In the match programme, Deeney says he's lost two-and-a-half stone this season and can "lose another stone at least."

Any diet tips?

Less than 15 minutes until we're expecting team news from Manchester City and Francfort, sorry I mean Watford (see 3.14 entry)!

Any surprises in store? Wonder whether Javi Gracia will leave Gerard Deulofeu out of the starting line-up this time...

Manchester City

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, speaking to BBC Sport: "We've had a week to prepare, which is longer than we've had for a long time. We've been doing the right thing to be at our best today and I'm confident because this team is strong and focused.

"Watford are a big physical side who can mix it up. But they've got enough quality to play at times as well.

"It [winning the treble] would be an exceptional achievement. But we need to be a little bit steady with this one. We have to be clear it's not an easy game but when we prepare well and set our sights on something as precious as the FA Cup then that's where we're at our best."

Asked if he'll shoot if he gets the ball 30 yards out: "I might, I just might."

You know that screamer Kompany scored against Leicester? He's threatened to do it again...

We're talking about the elite on a global scale for Manchester City. They've got a level of professionalism that we haven't seen before, in terms of winning back-to-back Premier League titles and amassing so many points.

It tells us Pep Guardiola's got a group of players who are able to move on from wins very quickly and refocus.
