Starting with the English Cup, it features Arsenal vs. Aston Villa, and the Spanish Cup feature Barcelona VS Athletic Bilbao.

English FA Cup Arsenal Vs. Aston Villa
Great news for Aston Villa fans as the central defender of the team has successfully timed his return just in time for the Final match after he suffered from a knee injury during the FA Cup Semi Final against Liverpool. The examinations showed fear that the 24 years old defender might be out for the season, causing a crisis in the defense lines of Aston Villa, especially after the season ending injury that Ciaran Clark and the injury that Philippe Senderos suffered from.
On the other hand, Arsenal fans seems to be quite full of themselves, as they have confidence that their team will be winning and claiming the cup to the extent of revealing their own victory parade plans after the Gunners take on their opponent in the showpiece event that will take place on Wembley. Last year, thousands of the fans flocked after they won the cup, and more are expected to come again this year. Although the Gunners are the favorites to retain the crown when they face Aston Villa, but after the stir that the parade plans have caused, it is certain that Aston Villa will use this as a motivational tool. According to William Hill, the odds are 4/7 for Arsenal to win, 5/1 for Aston Villa to win and 14/5 for a Draw.
Spanish Cup Barcelona Vs. Athletic Bilbao
It seems that these two teams are destined to meet each other in cut throat events that have titles on the line, as the two teams will go head to head twice in the next three months. The first one being the Spanish King Cup final that will take place on the 30th of May at Camp Nou. Odds from the same sports betting operator William Hill are 10/1 for Athletic Bilbao to win, 1/4 for Barcelona to win and 5/1 for a tie.
As for the 2nd meet, since the Blaugrana has won La Liga title this Sunday, it has become a sure thing that the Lions and the Catalans are going to meet each other head to head in the Spanish Super Cup of 2015 which will take place this August. It consists of 2 games, with one match being played on each club’s respective stadium. This match is going to be the first official tournament of the Spanish 2015/16 season, and it very well could be the first trophy of Barcelona in this new season.
