Final

Chelsea v Leicester City

London, England
Saturday, 15 May 2021

Leicester City will be determined to win the 2021 FA Cup when they square off with Chelsea FC at the Wembley Stadium on May 15. 
 
The Foxes will be making their fifth appearance in the final and they are hoping to win the tournament for the first time. 
 
They have finished as runners-up in their 1948-49, 1960–61, 1962–63 and 1968–69 FA Cup campaigns.
 
Leicester are now hoping to end their 52-year-old FA Cup jinx when they take on eight-time winners Chelsea.

Brendan Rodgers, the Leicester manager, feels that his side deserves to be in the final and he stressed the importance of the tournament to the club. 
 
“It’s amazing, the club have been waiting a long time to get an FA Cup Final and I think we deserved it," Rodgers said. 
 
“The two of them [Vardy and Iheanacho] are a real threat. Jamie was obviously disappointed he didn’t score in the first half but you’ve seen the threat he has, the movement he has in between the lines and the clever play for the goal. 
 
“He’s [Iheanacho] such a great guy, works so hard, he’s at the top of his game in terms of confidence. It’s a competition that means a lot to our supporters and we’ve tried to show it that respect all the way through.”

Leicester are heading into the final in poor form as they have failed to win their last two games which were both in the Premier League. 
 
The former English champions registered one draw and one defeat during their current two-match winless run. 
 
The last competitive meeting between Chelsea and Leicester was on 19 January 2021.
 
The game ended in a 2-0 win in favour of Leicester in a Premier League match which took place at the King Power Stadium.
