The English season comes to a climax at Wembley Stadium tomorrow for what could be a tale of an historic double, a career salvaging win or the end of an era.

Arsene Wenger takes his Arsenal side to the national stadium for an FA Cup final more important than any of the previous seven he has contested. After a woeful season at The Emirates Stadium the Frenchman's future at the club could well come down to the events at Wembley tomorrow evening as they take on Premier League winners Chelsea in search of the second league and FA Cup double in the history of the club.

Antonio Conte's side have been astounding this season and beating them would be a tall order for a full strength Arsenal side, however, going into the game Wenger has far from that at his disposal.

It is at the back where things are most concerning for the Gunners. With Laurent Koscielny suspended after a foolish sending off against Everton and Gabriel injured, as well as Germany international Shkodran Mustafi and full-back Kieran Gibbs both doubts, it could be a rather thread-bare defensive line come kick-off.

However, Wenger can take solace from one member of his defensive unit who is ready to go against Conte's title winners. Despite having only arrived from Bolton last summer and spending most of the season on the peripheries of the squad, centre-half Rob Holding has emerged as a top prospect over the last couple of months of the campaign, with the move to three at the back having given him the chance to develop in front of the eyes of the manager and fans.

He may well be inexperienced at this level, but he is the best Wenger has got this weekend and there are a number of reasons he can be trusted to take yet another step up in an Arsenal shirt.

Considering the 21-year-old had to wait so long for a chance in the Premier League after a couple of early appearances, his numbers - especially when you take into account the season the Gunners have endured - are rather impressive.

In fact, his average of 51.8 passes per match is bettered only be Mustafi when it comes to defenders at the club, which for such a young centre-half is quite remarkable and shows confidence beyond his years.

The former Bolton man was a standout performer in the somewhat surprise semi-final win over Manchester City just over a month ago, keeping ferocious City striker Sergio Aguero quiet for large parts of the afternoon, and Wenger will be desperate to see more of the same from the Englishman.

Having tamed one of the most potent goalscorers in recent years in the last round, Holding must now face up to a different challenge in the brute force of Chelsea top scorer Diego Costa. However, with so much on the line for the north Londoners, you wouldn't put another standout performance beyond this promising talent.
