What is it?

It is the 2018 FA Cup final at Wembley, the 12th at the new stadium.

Manchester United will take on Chelsea, who are looking to complete an FA Cup double after their women's team beat Arsenal.

When is it?

It is this weekend. Saturday May 19, the same day as the Royal Wedding.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off is scheduled for 5:15pm, a slightly earlier start time than last year's final between Chelsea and Arsenal, which kicked-off at 5.30pm.

What TV channel is it on?

BT Sport and BBC have shared FA Cup coverage this season, and you will be able to watch the final via both broadcasters.

Alternatively, you can follow all the build up and live action with our Telegraph Sport live blog.

Does it clash with the Royal Wedding?

Though the two events are on the same day, there will be no clash between the ceremony at Windsor Castle and the final at Wembley.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are due to be married in at noon, with the Cup final kicking-off later in the afternoon. So football-loving royalists can have their cake and eat it.

Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, usually attends the final and presents the cup to the winning captain in his role as Football Association president. It remains to be seen if he will dash across London to fulfil both obligations.

Is the video assistant referee system in use?

Yes. For the first time ever in the final of football's oldest cup competition VAR will be utilised and promises to be one of the day's most contentious talking points. Had the system been in place last year, Alexis Sanchez's opening goal for Arsenal would likely have been ruled out for handball.

Is it the final game of the season?

Liverpool aside, who feature in the Champions League final a week later, it will be the last time we see Premier League teams in action in the 2017-18 season. There are Football League play-off finals at Wembley the following weekend.

What happens if the game is a draw?

The days of multiple replays in the final are long gone. If the match finishes as a draw after 90 minutes, there will be 30 minutes of regular extra-time followed by penalties if the scores still level.

Is there a place in Europe at stake?

Winning the FA Cup does guarantee a place in the Europa League group stages, but if the winner already has a place in European competition via league position then the seventh placed team in the Premier League will qualify instead.

With Manchester United and Chelsea both already guaranteed European football, seventh-placed Burnley are now guaranteed a place in next season's Europa League.

What are they saying?

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte admits his future at the club will become clearer after the FA Cup final.

"It is very difficult to comment on speculation because there has been speculation around me from the start of the season, after the first game against Burnley.

"This speculation is not important to me because my focus is only to do my work in the best possible way with my players. I am doing this from the start until the end.

"There are only two weeks and this season will finish, and you will know if there is a different situation or if you see me again next season.

"In this decision there are always two parties to take the decision, not only one side. I like to work with my players to build something important but in our job the final result is very important."

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho remains uncertain on whether striker Romelu Lukaku will be fit to take part in the Wembley showpiece.

Lukaku picked up a knock after colliding with Arsenal defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.

"I don't think it's something, or I hope it's not, that in this moment keeps him immediately out of a game that is in a few weeks' time.

"But I don't know. I never, when I finish a game and a player is injured, immediately go for good or bad news. I wait a bit more.

"I don't know if he is going to be out, or if he's not okay. He wants to play all the time. He is never tired and, when he has small things, he doesn't care. He still wants to play."

What are the latest odds?

Chelsea 19/10
Manchester United 8/5

What is our prediction?

Speculation over Antonio Conte's future - and Chelsea's recent performances - will help Manchester United, whose manager Jose Mourinho has an impressive cup final record.

Prediction: Manchester 2 Chelsea 0
