FA Cup final viewers have called for Gary Lineker to be sacked, with the presenter working on the match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City despite finding himself embroiled in controversy earlier this week.
The 64-year-old shared a post on Instagram, which was later deleted, about Israel.

While he's leaving Match of the Day next week, he's still working with the Beeb on today's FA Cup final and will continue to cover the competition next season.

Eagles boss Oliver Glasner previewed the clash by saying: "If something is the first time in your life then maybe it means more to you than when you have it every single year.
"City, I don't know how many trophies they've won and finals they have played in under Pep. It's definitely more than Crystal Palace.
"But for the players, the manager, the club, winning a title is something great in the season.
"I don't expect that they will wave us the white flag and say: 'Okay, it's the first title for Crystal Palace, you should get it'. I think they will fight to win it."
