They had beaten Bristol Rovers, Liverpool, Newcastle, Barnsley and Grimsby Town en route to Wembley. Early in the season, Arsenal had lost the Charity Shield 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday, but two months later claimed their biggest win of the season, 7-1 at Aston Villa, with Ted Drake setting the all-time record for the most goals in one English top division match, after scoring all seven goals.
