Arsenal fans on Twitter are mocking Manchester City over booking a hotel for the FA Cup final without being there.

The Gunners take on Chelsea in tomorrow’s showpiece at Wembley.

Arsenal are going for a 14th FA Cup title after beating Pep Guardiola’s side in the semi-final a couple of weeks back.

But according to The Mirror journalist John Cross, the Citizens booked the Hilton in the event that they beat the North Londoners.

Here’s how Arsenal fans reacted to that report on Twitter:

Arsenal won that game 2-0 courtesy of a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – and he’ll be needed again tomorrow.

Mikel Arteta’s side will be slight underdogs to win the trophy for a fourth time in six years, but what a story it’d be if the Emirates Stadium club do win it.

Until December of last year, Arteta was assistant to Guardiola at Manchester City, not a senior manager.

And if he wins a competition on this scale in his first half-a-year as Arsenal boss then it’ll reiterate what we already know: the future is bright for the club under the young Spaniard.
