The FA Cup has boiled down to just two teams, one match and date with destiny for two squads of players itching to wrap their hands around silverware this May.

Chelsea – one of the big six teams currently in the bad books over their Super League proposal plans – will face Leicester in the showpiece game of English football.

Neither side is invincible, both have wobbled in recent weeks, and both will feel they have a chance at bringing home the trophy for their fans during the most turbulent season in modern football history.

The Blues last won the cup in 2018 and were defeated in last year’s final by Arsenal in front of a crowd of zero due to COVID restrictions.

Up to 21,000 fans will be permitted inside Wembley Stadium for this year’s huge encounter as lockdown restrictions begin to lift.

Leicester haven’t lifted silverware since their remarkable Premier League title win in 2016 but their continued establishing process among the elite of English football would be boosted with a victory here.

You can expect plenty of drama and we’ve got all the TV details across BBC and BT Sport platforms so you won’t miss a moment.
