The 1941 Football League War Cup final was contested by Arsenal and Preston North End. The first tie, played at Wembley Stadium on 4 May 1941, was drawn 1–1, McLaren scoring for Preston before Denis Compton equalised for Arsenal.[1]

The replay took place three weeks later, on 31 May 1941, at Ewood Park.[2] Preston took the lead through Bobby Beattie, but Arsenal equalised late in the game courtesy of an own goal by Frank Gallimore.[3] Within thirty seconds, Beattie had scored again for Preston, to secure the victory 2–1.[4]
