Football's most glamorous occasion introduced live from Wembley by Desmond Lynam.
Manchester United, seeking a Premiership/FA Cup double, are making a record-equalling 12th appearance in the final, and if they win they will also share Tottenham Hotspur's record of eight victories. For Chelsea it is a fourth final, with their only success coming in 1970 when they beat Leeds United.
Alex Ferguson's United, with the skill of players like Eric Cantona and Ryan Giggs, will start favourites, but Chelsea, under the watchful eye of manager Glenn Hoddle, have weathered a mid-season crisis to reach Wembley. The goals of Gavin Peacock have been crucial during their cup run.... and also in Chelsea's two victories over United in this season's Premiership.

Glenda Jackson, Cliff Richard, Diana Rigg and John Thaw assess the duo's cultural achievements and pay tribute to the dramatic genius of Little Ern.
