Sir Alex Ferguson's players will wear black shirts, black shorts and white socks at the Millennium Stadium next month, and will be hoping the outcome is similar to the last time they wore the colours against the Gunners.

In February United won 4-2 at Highbury in their black away strip, a scoreline the Red Devils would love to repeat.

However, Arsenal have a good record at the Millennium Stadium in their home colours and won the FA Cup against Southampton two years ago in their traditional colours.

Because Man United will wear black, officials for the Final will wear an all yellow strip.

The decision over which side will wear red was made over the toss of a coin, a concept which also decided other aspects of this season's Cup Final.

Arsenal supporters will be situated in the North End of the Millennium Stadium, while they will also use the North dressing rooms and Arsene Wenger will sit on the North bench.

That may provide a boost for the London side as the North changing facilities have proved lucky in the past.

Until 2002, when Stoke won the Division Two play-off Final after changing in the South changing rooms, every side to change in the North facilities went on to win.

Whether the trend will return to help Arsenal secure glory only time will tell, but it is unlikely United manager Ferguson will be reading too deeply into what has happened in the past.

Supporters should contact the team they are supporting for FA Cup Final ticket sale arrangements. Tickets will be on sale for £90, £65, £50, and £25.
