FA Cup final 2015: Lawro's lowdown on Arsenal v Aston Villa

I see Saturday's FA Cup final as being an open game because Aston Villa will realise their best chance of winning is if they go at Arsenal.

They could not buy a goal under previous boss Paul Lambert but, under Tim Sherwood, attacking has become Villa's strength.

Surely they will not want to just sit deep and wait for the Gunners to come at them, because I don't think they will hold out for long if they do.

The more men they commit forward, the more dangerous Villa look.

It is the same for Arsenal - we know Arsene Wenger loves to play expansive attacking football and hopefully both teams will go for it to give us an entertaining final.

Attack-wise, Arsenal look very strong. They also have a lot of competition for places, which is something you cannot have enough of.

Theo Walcott was played up front and down the middle in the Gunners' final Premier League game of the season against West Brom and scored a hat-trick.

But I would still stick with Olivier Giroud up front against Villa. He gives Arsenal a presence up front that none of their other players can offer and holds the ball up much better than Walcott could ever do.

I can see Walcott as playing as a central striker and sometimes on his own, but he is more suitable for that role in away league games, when Arsenal are seeing less of the ball.

They should have more possession than Villa on Saturday and, if Wenger goes with Giroud, he can pay different people off him - including Walcott.

I know Giroud gets criticised for missing chances but all strikers do that. People also say he is not an Arsenal-type of player but I don't think that is right.

He is exactly the sort of player they need, because he gives them something different.

People say Villa striker Christian Benteke is such a threat because he is so good in the air and can also score with his feet.

But the same can be said for Giroud. He might have missed a few chances in the Champions League against Monaco but, in the Premier League, he has scored more goals in fewer starts than Benteke.
