The first major trophy of the season is up for grabs at the Millennium Stadium in Wales this Sunday and it's two of the game's heavyweights, Arsenal and Chelsea, who do battle.

Perhaps the most important piece of news for the Blues is that influential captain John Terry appears to have won his race for fitness after hobbling off against Porto in midweek with a bad ankle injury.

Despite their multi-talented, multi-million pound squad, the Stamford Bridge side are stretched for central defenders and definitely looked vulnerable without him earlier in the season.

The England skipper will add solidity to the Chelsea defence although they will be as clueless as the ordinary punter as to who exactly will be in red and white.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has handed this tournament over to his second string and what a job they have made of it.

The Gunners thrashed Liverpool 6-3 at Anfield and then disposed of Spurs in the semi-final although they had to bring in the big guns to finish that tie off.

So it all adds up to an afternoon of intrigue and hopefully, there will be goals.

We reckon a scoring draw is the best bet and will take Betterbet.com's 11/2 for 1-1 with a side bet of 14/1 for 2-2.

But for the sake of posterity, we reckon Chelsea will emerge eventual winners after penalties.
