Arsenal must start quickly in Saturday's FA Cup final and clamp down on Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard, according to Aaron Ramsey.
Arsenal beat Chelsea 3-0 in a thrilling Premier League encounter at home in September, but Hazard drove Chelsea to a 3-1 win in February.
Hazard scored the second goal, a terrific individual effort, and was named man of the match at Stamford Bridge, and Ramsey says they must reduce his impact on the game.

'I think the way we started the home game in the first half was very good. We were very quick, we counter attacked well, closed them down, got about them.' Ramsey told the club's website.
'It was a different game away and we perhaps let individuals have a bit too much space. Hazard went on a bit of a run and put the ball in the net.
'We can't let that happen again, we have to be right in his face and stop that at source.'
Arsenal are looking to seal their third FA Cup trophy in four years and win the competition for a record 13th time.
