While Fifa battles allegations of corruption, the oldest domestic cup competition in the world - the FA Cup - will take place tomorrow.

Current cup holders Arsenal will face Aston Villa at Wembley, in what many fans hope will begin to restore the integrity of the somewhat tarnished 'beautiful game'.

ITV News reporter Ben Chapman has the story:

Among the hundreds of thousands expected to tune in will be lifelong fan John Flanner, who is hoping his team will claim victory in the contest for the first time in almost 60 years.

Blind since the age of 19, watching Aston Villa win the cup in 1957 is one of his most vivid memories.

He is now hoping they will repeat the feat tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, fellow Villa fans Paul Raworth and Dean Beresford said they hope the event will take attention away from the crisis at Fifa.

The game will be shown live at 5.30pm on BT Sport 1 and BBC1.
