Gary Lineker spots man ‘fleeing with FA Cup’ ahead of Wembley final between Man City and Watford
Former footy star shared a photo on social media of a man in an orange cap with silverware in his hands
GARY LINEKER shared a photo onto social media of someone "stealing" the FA Cup trophy.
Later this afternoon Manchester City and Watford will lock horns in the battle for the prestigious silverware.
But former footballer-turned-presenter Lineker pointed out a possible problem - the lack of a trophy to present.
The photo he shared shows a man in an orange cap and beige jacket cutting through traffic with "The FA Cup" in his grasp.
But thankfully moments after Lineker posted "Spotted near Wembley: man fleeing with Cup", the FA replied.
They posted: "Don’t worry Gary, we’ve found it", alongside a photo of the cup proudly sitting on its stand at the national stadium.
City will be huge favourites to become the first ever side to win the domestic treble in England.
But Watford fans will be hopeful they can spring the shock - and in Troy Deeney they have a useful weapon.
SunSport columnist Danny Higginbotham believes it is imperative the Hornets play to the big targetman's strength.
The former Manchester United and Stoke star said: "He doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves but if the Hornets can get men around him then he has the physicality and ability to hold the ball up to make life really difficult for Vincent Kompany and Co.
"If they drop too deep when defending, Deeney will be isolated when they win it back and then it could be a long afternoon for him.
"But if they can turn defence into attack quickly, and get the likes of Will Hughes, Roberto Pereyra and Gerard Deulofeu in close to him, then they will fancy their chances.
"Set-pieces are also going to be huge for Javi Gracia’s side.

"Watford, through Craig Cathcart, Adrian Mariappa, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Deeney, are a far taller side.
"And with Jose Holebas’ excellent delivery, this could be their best avenue to score."
