It's well known in rugby league circles that none of Hull FC's three Challenge Cup final wins have come at Wembley.
Their last visit was in 2013, when they lost 16-0 in soggy conditions to Wigan.

It's hot and very muggy in north-west London and still dry. But for how long?
The usual mix of shirts from all clubs. But look in the distance, and the majority seem to be from Hull.

Jon Wilkin
St Helens captain, BBC One
Game plans usually encroach on all parts of the day. How both sides organise themselves will be key today.
Warrington will want to speed the game up, Hull will want to kick behind them and force them back.
Control of this game is going to be key for both sides.

Jonathan Davies
Ex-Great Britain international, BBC One
What people don't understand is the whole emotion of the whole week. The players aren't used to this exposure.
It's important they don't get overawed by the occasion and don't let their energy levels drain in the closing moments.

Brian Noble
Ex-Great Britain coach, BBC One
We've got the best two teams in the competition and the most entertaining in the competition meeting today.
If you were to set a chess board up of these two teams, it would be intriguing to see how they play.
I'm really looking forward to kick-off.

The rebuilt Wembley has become a home from home for Warrington Wolves in recent years, while Hull FC have yet to win there - whether it be under the Twin Towers or the arch.
These two are the current top two clubs in the Super League table, both are in prime form and ready for what promises to be one of the best cup finals in years.
Will Wembley turn black and white or primrose and blue?

Outside Wembley Stadium is a statue which pays tribute to five rugby league legends of seasons past.
One way to etch your name into the sport's folklore is to do something very, very special in a Challenge Cup final.
For many, it is still the pinnacle of the domestic game. The showpiece event of the English rugby league calendar.
