FA Cup final preview: Chelsea bid to win the trophy for the ninth-time in their history, while Leicester seek their first-ever triumph

There will be 21,000 fans in attendance to watch this year’s FA Cup final between Chelsea and Leicester City on Saturday evening.

The final takes place at Wembley following the semi-finals last month, with the Blues looking to win their first trophy under Thomas Tuchel and the Foxes aiming to win their first silverware since their 2015-16 Premier League triumph. In getting to Wembley, both sides have had to fend off strong opponents.

Chelsea beat Manchester City in the last round, while Leicester had to overcome Manchester United in the quarter-finals.

Both sides now find themselves just 90 minutes away from winning the biggest cup in the country, while also having one eye on their league position.

The two clubs currently occupy the final two Champions League spots, with just two games left to play.

They will face each other again just three days later in what could be a pivotal clash in the race for the top four.

Despite this, Tuchel and Brendan Rodgers will be focused on the return of the supporters and the chance to win a major trophy this weekend.

The Blues reached this stage of the competition last season but lost out the Arsenal and will be looking to avenge that result this time out.

For Leicester, it will be their first FA Cup final since 1969, having never won the tournament.

The final takes place this Saturday at 5:15pm, featuring two of the form sides in the country.
