Kevin Friend was announced as the referee for this years FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Watford on May 18.The two sides will face each other at Wembley with City still aiming for a domestic treble.Watfords only appearance in the final was a defeat to Everton in 1984.Getty2

Kevin Friend will take charge of the FA Cup Final

The referee will be an important factor in who lifts the trophy and will no doubt have some big decisions to make on the day.The long-standing tradition means that this will be Friends only appearance as an FA Cup final referee and he will be hoping it passes without any controversial incidents.Manchester City have a good record when he has taken charge of their games.Getty2

Referees can only officiate the FA Cup Final once

They have lost just twice in the 24 times he has refereed them and Friend has never sent a City player off.The Hornets have less cause to be hopeful, though, as they have managed just four wins in 19 games with Friend officiating. He has also shown two red cards.
