good evening. i'm olly foster we are at wembley for the final fa cup sportsday of the season. the conte—mourinho relationship has been fiery, sparks could fly in the 137th fa cup final. it is chelsea against manchester united. 33 finals between them. it was lydia drogba's day the last time they met the final. can celtic do they met the final. can celtic do the double trouble? also coming up, taking athletics out of the stadium and onto the streets. mo farah's among the big names set

to compete in the great city games in manchester this weekend. good evening. rehearsals and preparations are underway for the big day tomorrow, around 90,000 will be here to witness the coming together of two teams and two managers with very little love lost between them. neither is a stranger to the romance and heartbreak in this competition, they,ve been here so many times before, they definitely won't be wearing white tomorrow, it's blue, it's red, chelsea against manchester united, the 2018 fa cup final and what a season it's been. november the 4th at hyde united of the premier league. bonfire weekend.

right time, wrong place for fireworks. hyde finally burn themselves out, but the crackle of shocks filled the air in other places. places like boreham wood, britain's hollywood, home of elstree tv studios and the scenes of familiar plotlines. non—leaguers beating famous names. blackpool, in this case. 0xford beating famous names. blackpool, in this case. oxford city, woking and hereford filled the underdog role in other venues. nottingham forest has won the european cup twice, but few expected them to do this to arsenal. he's going for another! perhaps the first wave of a longer buy. the season was first wave of a longer buy. the season was the start of something, the cup, testing lab for video assistant referee. liverpool against west brom was rewound and paused over and over. the delays in decisions would be discussed on a loop. when it stopped, liverpool

out. had that ruined the cups spontaneity? manchester city went to wigan and a short, sharp sensational shock. he has scored! the chaos created a vacuum anyone could win. not wigan, beaten by southampton in the quarterfinal. the big boys marched on. tottenham. .. the quarterfinal. the big boys marched on. tottenham... manchester united... chelsea... all off to wembley. the national stadium had already hosted three spurs matches but it becomes a very different beast on semifinal day. tottenham had lost seven semis in a row. manchester united make that eight. chelsea faced southhampton, still fighting relegation. unable to stop the dancing shoes of olivia giroud. he has done brilliantly and scores.

to the final destination, or the end of the road. patrick gearey with that look back at this season's fa cup. let's look ahead now to tomorrow's final. we've heard from both managers today. the relationship between the two has been a bit prickly since conte arrived in the premier league, something to do with the italian being the first full time coach since mourinho was sacked in his second spell at stamford bridge and they've been sniping at each other ever since. they were relatively well—behaved as they gave their final thoughts. there is an odd relationship between me and him. tomorrow, iwill shake his hand. nervous and turns with the

unpredictability of the results. that, for me, as a football lover, not as a manager, but does football love r, not as a manager, but does football lover, for me it is entertaining. you prepare your plan for the whole team. if romelu lukaku isn't playing, we have another striker. what happened in the past has nothing to do with tomorrow. what plays is 11 against 11 and everybody trying to give his best.” plays is 11 against 11 and everybody trying to give his best. i cannot tell for sure this will be my last match in this season. for sure. because for me and my players, this will be the last game for us. so the managers have had their say, let's bring in a man who you probably won't see tomorrow, but you will hear if you are watching on bbc one, steve wilson is going to be commentating on his first fa cup final. 24

2a hours out from your first fa cup commentary for the bbc? yes, only nine people have commentated for bbc and the fa cup final so it is a shortlist i am joining. and the fa cup final so it is a shortlist i amjoining. have you crammed any stats tonight, have you done your homework? whatjumped out at you when you look at past meetings between this two? everyone remembers the first meeting between the managers in english football. they have played against each other in italian football but the 4—0 chelsea win in the first game in the beginning of last season and that is when the animosity began, i think. that is the last time manchester united conceded more than two goals in any match in any competition. we are talking of over 100 games. jose mourinho you will remember that, he members everything. alexis sanchez

could become the first man to score goals in back—to—back finals four different clubs, lots of things jump out from this? there is a load of subplots, you have alexis sanchez on one side and oliver garuda on the other. matic being a key figure for manchester united, who obviously they signed from chelsea. juan mata might be involved for manchester united, another former chelsea player. the final you were referring to, the first fa cup final back in the new wembley 2007, . .. was a terrible game, i was there as a punter. jose mourinho's only fa cup win today, the 19th of may, the same date 11 years on. are you ready for the video assistant referee and the controversy it might conjure? we hope it doesn't, we don't want it to be remembered for the var final. but

it will be interesting to see how it pans out tomorrow. the officials are under enormous pressure of course tomorrow. i think var needs to work well tomorrow in its first cup final, i hope it does. steve wilson, stay with us. kyle stanley is the wembley head groundsman, how many matches have been played on this this season? since august, tomorrow will be 61. spurs have been playing here, their home matches, it looks magnificent, are you happy with it? lam never magnificent, are you happy with it? i am never happy, i am always striving for improvement and perfection. the team have been working very hard over the last few days to turn it around from last week's game. they come thick and fast but getting it ready for an fa cup final with the billions watching

around the world, it gives you an extra edge when you are going around with your fork? it definitely does, the fa cup final is a fantastic competition. it is a privilege for the team here at wembley to be involved in such a great competition. kyle stanley, many thanks. have a wonderful commentary, sta pleton. thanks. have a wonderful commentary, stapleton. —— steve wilson. it's also cup final in scotland tomorrow, celtic are going for the double treble. standing in the way — motherwell. chris mclaughlin is at hampden for us. motherwell last won it in 1991. brendan rodgers is the favourite, but whatever happens, we are heading towards a little bit of history. with all the feel of a victory parade, this was good luck. the town turning out full of hope as their heroes started their scottish cup journey. 0nto the team hotel and

possibly on to history. it's not about anything other than becoming legends at the football club, we have told them that. it is a nice pressure to put yourself in that situation and have the petition to win the scottish cup final. the boys have embraced it. as have the marketing team... there is still steal at the heart of motherwell. the spirit of the thousands who once forged is now embodied in us all.l clu b forged is now embodied in us all.l club video with a difference. players and steelworkers' pride in the past and the present. we define our own destiny. in scottish football's dream factory, heroes are forged and memories made. celtic have won all four meetings, including this in 1951. at hampden park, motherwell kick off playing from right to left. beats two

defenders and it is our goal. 67 yea rs defenders and it is our goal. 67 years later, demolishing all before them and celtic have their eye on an historic double trouble. a clean sweep two years running has never been done before in scottish football. that shows you how tough it is as much as anything. great teams and managers and players that have been up here, it has not been donein have been up here, it has not been done in the history of what is a one double football history, it tells you the magnitude of it. two clubs separated by one trophy and differing expectations. but united in an age—old dream. final preparations are under way here on the south side of glasgow. we have had some fan groups in and the pitch is looking pristine and the oldest trophy in association football

awaits the winner of celtic versus motherwell. we will be back at wembley later in fa cup sportsday and i have two special guests coming up but the now, let's catch up with the rest of the sport headlines at the bbc sport centre, holly hamilton. we will be back with you later on. the fa cup final isn't the only major event taking place this weekend and no i'm not talking about the royal wedding. some of the world's greatest athletes and para athletes have gathered in manchester for the great city games, competing in front of thousands of spectators. it all began this afternoon and our reporter ade adedoyin is among the crowds. we can expect to see some big names in action this weekend? this is a huge event, so what will be the looking forward to? yes, welcome to manchester city centre,

urban athletics and a four lane track corrected in the middle of manchester. a chance for members of the public to get up close and personal with some of the stars in action. paralympic champion, just been introduced to the crowd, we are about to have the 150 metres for athletes with cerebral palsy. georgina armitage, her team—mates have been in action against her already. we have seen the visual impaired, jason smith won it on sunday at the manchester run. mo farah will be in action. his parter preparations for tokyo twenty20 where he hopes to win the gold in the marathon and it is an important race. tokyo olympics, if i can run two marathons a year and run as much marathons a year and run as much marathons as i can before the olympics, it will give me good confidence, a good boost and obviously tactically try and work something out that works for you.

that is what i have done on the track over the years. people used to see nowadays, mo farah can kick. i had to work on something that could beat the rest. same in the marathon, in order for me to be successful it will take something that i can think will take something that i can think will beat these guys. the great manchester run will be taking place almost a year to the manchester attacks. martin hibbitt, a victim of the attack, will be taking part. i remember everything until we got help. it wasn't a nice thing to go through. at that time, i didn't realise how bad my injuries were, but obviously i couldn't move. to see your daughter dying in front of your eyes are not being able to move or do anything, it is a vision that will stay with me for a long time

and that is probably the hardest thing that i have still not been able to get over that vision. as a dad, you are there to protect your children and not to be able to do that, it is tough for me, that. it is tough for me to get over. i was told three or four weeks after the bomb, i wouldn't be walking again, which was hard. never have i put head down. yes, i have bad days and there are still worries and concerns but it is the type of person i am, i get over it and try and make the best of it. there is still a lot of trauma and and hopefully, it is one of the reasons i have done this, as significant as the date is, i see it as closing this chapter. i cannot wait to do it on sunday and this will be the first race of several we have got planned over the next 12 months. hopefully finishing with the

boston marathon in 2019 and the hope is to raise £1 million for the three hospitals that saved mine and my daughter's life. while you are watching we have had the 150 metres for athletes with cerebral palsy. sophie hahn, won the race. still to come, we will have the 110 hurdles. then one of the most decorated 0lympic the 110 hurdles. then one of the most decorated olympic athletes will be in action, allyson felix will go head—to—head with the double silver medallist. that is one to look forward to. it is great to see the spectators enjoying it for free as well. thank you very much. let's take a quick look at today's the rest of today's sports news and we start with a hat trick of managerial casualties and appointments this afternoon. paul lambert has left relegated stoke city, just four months afterjoining the club. he won just two of 15 games in charge. carlos carvalhal, as expected, has gone from swansea city.

the club confirmed his departure from the liberty stadium despite staying in the premier league. one man relegated but staying at west brom is darren moore. he's been confirmed as boss on a permanent basis having replaced alan pardew in caretaker charge. another sprint finish at the giro d'italia. elia viviani claimed the 13th stage to make it a hat trick of wins for the italian while britain's simon yates maintains his overall lead. this weekend sees the giro heating up again as the race heads into the mountains tomorrow. in rugby league, wigan warriors have signed former castleford tigers full—back zak hardaker, who willjoin them when his 1a—month drugs ban ends in november. he's currently serving a suspension after testing positive for cocain in the build up to last year's super league grand final. and in tennis, world number two, rafael nadal, is through to the semi—finals of the italian 0pen. he beat fabio fognini in three sets. an eighth title in rome

would see nadal return to the top of the rankings. now, let's get back to the build—up from wembley where it is less chance of glory for manchester united or chelsea this season. they meet in the fa cup final tomorrow. lee foster, it is not the wedding, forget the royal wedding but who will get theirfairy tale forget the royal wedding but who will get their fairy tale ending, will get their fairy tale ending, will it be antonia canter orjersey ——jose will it be antonia canter orjersey —— jose mourinho. i have two manchester united fans with me. one of them has more winners medals than any of the chelsea and manchester united teams put together. you have got to explain, it is your faults,
