Anthony Taylor, the match official Arsene Wenger pushed and called 'dishonest' in January, has been named as referee for the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea on May 27.

Premier League leaders Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-2 in last Saturday's FA Cup semi-final and Wenger's Arsenal defeated Manchester City 2-1 after extra time a day later.

The London rivals will contest the showpiece final at Wembley six days after the Premier League season concludes.
