Wigan midfielder James McArthur believes the Latics can put their Premier League relegation worries to one side as they prepare to face Manchester City in Saturday's FA Cup final.
The semi-final victory over Millwall was a first experience of playing at Wembley for most of the Wigan squad, including McArthur. The 25-year-old, who joined the Latics in 2010 from Hamilton Academicals, has been a fan of the FA Cup since watching Eric Cantona score a late winner for Manchester United against Liverpool in the 1996 final. He said: "As a kid you never really think you're going to be playing in the FA Cup final. It's a brilliant cup, it's one of the most famous cups out there. "There's millions of people watching it all over the world. As a kid I was one of them. All the way through I've watched the FA Cup final so to play in one will be excellent. "Being from Scotland, Hampden was the major final. As a kid watching Rangers and Celtic finals was always excellent. That was the real dream. You never really think you're going to be in England but I'm here now and I'm looking forward to the match."
