By Mike Collett LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - Old masters Aston Villa will play holders Arsenal, the modern kings of the FA Cup, at Wembley next month in the finale of one of the most exciting competitions for years. The clubs, who have now reached 30 finals between them, will meet in the showpiece game for the first time when Arsenal, taking part in a record 19th final, will aim to become the record winners with a 12th success. Villa held that honour when they beat Manchester United 2-1 in 1957 to win the Cup for a then-record seventh time. In the 58 years since they have only appeared in one final, losing to Chelsea in 2000, while Arsenal have played in 12 and won eight.
