FA Cup final 1/2 to be played on a 'Final Saturday' this year

FA Cup 1/2 to get 'final Saturday'

THIS YEAR'S FA Cup final won't share the limelight with a Premier League fixture list according to Ladbrokes.

The bookies are offering just 1/2 that the showpiece enjoys an exclusive 'final saturday' free of any other top flight fixtures.

Purists may not be keen to learn however that it is also only even money that the match is played on any other day of the week before 2020.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "It looks like the purists will be satisfied this year. The odds indicate we may see a midweek final in the near future though."
