FA Cup Final: Crystal Palace's Jedinak set to start ahead of McArthur to counter Fellaini threat

Mile Jedinak looks likely to start the FA Cup Final ahead of James McArthur to help Crystal Palace deal with the threat of Marouane Fellaini.

The rest of the team to face Manchester United picks itself, barring any surprises, and the feeling is Jedinak will provide an important aerial presence at Wembley.

Fellaini was banned for the final three Premier League games of the season but is available on Saturday and Palace are wary of his threat.

Jedinak was outstanding in the semi-final win against Watford, winning several towering headers when Palace faced late pressure.

Should he be selected, Jedinak says he will relish taking on Fellaini.

“The different individual battles on the pitch is probably where the game will be won and lost,” said the midfielder. “You have to look forward to them. Part of my job against Watford was to get my head on things and the ball seemed to be like a magnet to my head at the end.”
