Who won the previous FA Cups?
The 2014-2015 FA Cup was chock full of excitement and surprised, especially during the 2015 Final match where Arsenal defeated Aston Villa a rediculously brutal 4-0. Considering that Arsenal now holds their twelfth title, it came as no surprise when Arsenal made it all the way to this year's FA Cup Quarter-final, what was a surprise was Watford's 2-1 victory, knocking out the defending champions out of the competition. Of course, with Crystal Palace then beating Watford, there's little doubt to how unpredictable this year's FA Cup has been! Now with Crystal Palace matching up against Manchester United, with unpredictability becoming the overall theme, the match really is anyone's game! So whether you're a football fan, or actually want to experience your first ever FA Cup game, this is your chance to experience this epic competition! Support your team and be part of the action!

While last year's 2015/16 FA Cup was even more surprising, seeing a repeat of 1990's FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace! While the exact details of the game can be seen in our FA Cup 2017 Final page, the hope that Crystal Palace placed on winning this year's FA Cup did not go unnoticed, especially considering the spotty season that Manchester United had suffered. With the dismissal of Manchester United's manager Luis van Gaal all but set in stone, Manchester United's FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace really could have gone either way, with many Crystal Palace fans hoping to get revenge for their hopes being dashed in 1990, against the Red Devils in what was described by many as their Crystal Palace finest season! Suffice to say, what followed was a truly tough game, that didn't see any results until near the end of the game. Unfortunately for Crystal Palace, (or fortunately for Manchester United depending where you stand), the Red Devils finished victorious!
