Lead

 * 1) At the end of the first paragraph you basically say the same thing twice by writing: ...ran out winners after 120 goalless minutes... and ...after neither side managed to score in normal and extra time. This needs to be reworded.
 * 2) Link Penalty shoot-out (association football) in first paragraph as that is where the reader will come across the term first.
 * 3) Link Extra-time per above.
 * 4) ...won 5–4; Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes saw... reword to ...won 5–4 after Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes saw...
 * 5) It isn't good to link to a page with a year as the piped text. "1996" could refer to anything. A way to get around this would be to write: ...game in Cup history since the 1996 edition.

Route to the Final

Arsenal

 * 1) As both Arsenal and Manchester United were Premier League clubs, they entered the competition in the third round. Remove sentence as unnecessary.

Pre-match

 * 1) ...2004–05 season. Link should be ...2004–05 season.
 * 2) ...of Manchester United in the league... "League" should be linked to 2004–05 FA Premier League.
 * 3) ...of a unique Treble,... No need for "Treble" to be capitalised.
 * 4) In most media, "the Treble" is referred to with a capital letter to distinguish it as a special achievement. – PeeJay 15:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * 5) ..most recently against Southampton in 2003. A bit like point 5 in the lead section; the link should be in the 2003 final
 * 6) ...constitutes the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, does it. Link "Texas Chain Sae Massacre" to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Second half
