Manchester United took home the crown in 2024, after a 4-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur was enough to reign them victorious under the arch of Wembley Stadium. The win marked United's first piece of silverware since the club's inception in 2018.

Arsenal have long been the historical giants of the FA Cup, winning the competition a total of 14 times. Despite the club's national dominance, the last time the Gunners bagged the silverware was nine years ago in the 2015/16 season when they defeated Chelsea 1-0.

Chelsea and Manchester City have shared the domestic glory ever since Arsenal's dominance began to dwindle. The Cityzens have taken home the gold in three seasons since, with Chelsea winning it on four occasions.
