As record winners, the FA Cup understandably holds fond memories for Arsenal, and it is even sweeter when it arrives at the expense of one of their London rivals.
The Gunners have tasted victory over Chelsea three times in finals but have had the measure of their neighbours to the west beyond the showpiece itself.
One such occasion saw Arsène Wenger's side dump the Blues out of the quarter final stage back in 2003 with a 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The team that would go onto become the "Invincibles" also ended that campaign by tasting tangible success as they condemned Southampton to defeat in the final.
This was one day when London was most definitely red.
