Chelsea striker Giroud reminds Conte of FA Cup record

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has reminded manager Antonio Conte he's a great record at Wembley.

The Frenchman is a Wembley lucky charm after all.

He said: “It's true that I have told some of the guys that I am basically unbeaten at Wembley with Arsenal.

“Hopefully it will be the same here with Chelsea.

“I have nice memories of the Cup with Arsenal and now I want them with Chelsea."

Giroud admits that while he may never eclipse Ashley Cole's FA Cup record haul of seven, he would love to add another to his tally of three.

He said: “It will be hard to win seven FA Cups but this one will be my happiest if we do it this year.

“Tottenham and Manchester United are two strong teams but we need to focus on the semi-final first.

“Then we will see who goes through. It will be a tough final anyway."
