Aaron Ramsey says Arsenal must get in Eden Hazard s face to stop him from inflicting damage in the FA Cup final.
Arsenal meet Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday, Arsene Wenger s side bidding to salvage silverware from a season that saw them finish fifth in the Premier League, while the Blues chase a famous double.
The Gunners won 3-0 against Chelsea last September, but Antonio Conte s men inflicted revenge in a 3-1 Stamford Bridge win in February, Hazard scoring an impressive individual goal.
I think the way we started the [home] game in the first half was very good, Ramsey, who scored the winner in his side s 2014 FA Cup final victory over Hull City, said to Arsenal Player.
We won the game in the first half really. We were very quick, we counter-attacked well, closed them down, got about them and everything seemed to come together on that day.
I m sure something similar will be required to beat them in the final as well.
It was a different game [away] and we perhaps let individuals have a bit too much space. Hazard went on a bit of a run and put the ball in the net.
We can t let that happen again, we have to be right in his face and stop that at source.
If you can do it, just do it. SO let s do it again!

Arsenal are chasing a third FA Cup crown in the last four seasons, while Chelsea have not won the trophy since 2012.
