One of two men on the verge of making history, Nicolas Anelka admits achieving a 'double Double' will make him a very proud man.
The Frenchman, along with Ashley Cole, has already achieved the feat of winning both the FA Cup and the Premier League in the same season with Arsenal, in 1998, while Cole did it four years later in 2002.
Nobody has ever done it with two clubs, and Anelka appreciates the standing it would give him in the game.
'I heard from Chelsea TV that nobody else has won the Double with two teams, it would be good if we can make history, even more because I like this club and I want to win everything I can,' he told the official Chelsea website.
'I will be proud to have achieved something in football, and very happy to say in the future I was able to win things with Chelsea at this time - this is even better because it is something special.'
Having spent so long in his career without major honours, last season's FA Cup success was his first trophy in England since 1998, and it has been a relief that he is again obtaining silverware.
'It was unexpected with Arsenal, we were a long way behind Manchester United in the league, but in football you never know and you have to fight and believe until the end, that's what we did and we had a lot of wins at the end of the season which gave us confidence to win the title, and then the Double,' he explained.
'Here at Chelsea we have always had belief and it is good to be in a squad when you know you can win titles, so I look forward to playing this game at Wembley and hoping we can win again.'
