Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster is prepared to sit out the FA Cup final.

Indeed, he says he will refuse to play in the FA Cup final if chosen to start against Manchester City on May 18.

The 36-year-old has claimed that Watford No 2 Heurelho Gomes deserves to retain his place between the sticks - as he has done in all six cup games this season.

Speaking on what he would do if he was picked for the FA Cup final, Foster joked: "I'll absolutely refuse!

"Heurelho deserves it and should play without a doubt.

"He has never let this club down and never will. He was fantastic today."
