Not so long ago, the Premier League elite regarded Cardiff as the place to be for an end-of-season party. Six FA Cup finals were staged at the Millennium Stadium (now the Principality Stadium) between 2001 and 2006 while Wembley was being rebuilt -- Arsenal won three, Liverpool two and Manchester United one.
There is another party due to take place in the Welsh capital this Saturday. This time, however, the giants of the English game will be nowhere to be seen.
