As well as fighting it out for a top-four finish in the Premier League, Chelsea and Leicester go head-to-head in the FA Cup final today at Wembley. Don't miss a moment with our Chelsea vs Leicester live stream guide.
After knocking out newly-crowned Premier League winners Man City in the semi-final, Chelsea go into today's final as favorites to snag winners' medals. The Pensioners are appearing in their 16th FA Cup final today with the aim of lifting the trophy for the ninth time.
Only Arsenal and Manchester United have won more FA Cup titles than Chelsea. The Pensioners were defeated in last year's final by London rivals Arsenal and last lifted the trophy in 2018. New Chelsea manager will be hoping to win his first cup final as Blues boss and add to Chelsea's trophy cabinet.
Leicester knocked out Man United and Southampton en route to the fifth FA Cup final in their history and their first in over 50 years. The Foxes have never won England's most prestigious cup.
In addition to going toe-to-toe today at Wembley for some silverware, both of today's sides are trying to secure a coveted top-four finish in the Premier League in order to qualify for the Champions League next season.
After Man City were confirmed as this year's title winners and Man United guaranteed their spot in the top four, Chelsea and Leicester look likely to bag the next two spots. That being said, Liverpool are still in pursuit and West Ham and Tottenham are still mathematically in the running with a few games left to play.
In a quirk of the fixture schedule, Chelsea and Leicester meet again in just three days' time in the league. On top attention-demanding FA Cup and Premier League games, Chelsea will likely have one eye on their upcoming Champions League next weekend. Leicester have a less-than-easy final-day clash with Tottenham.
