Predictions

Chelsea has turned out to be a real cup team in recent weeks. In all knockout games, the Blues could built on a stable defence. Moreover, the rested some of their key players in the league game against Arsenal. With the experience gained in the Champions League, the good form and the huge self-confidence that Tuchel has instilled in his team, Chelsea will be the favourite in the FA Cup final.

However, if Leistester proved one thing in this season, it would be their capability of competing with the big teams of the Premier League. The best example is the quarte-final of this season, where they had eliminated Manchester United at home. For the first time since 1969, Leicester City have made it to the FA Cup final. In what is now their fifth attempt, they are finally aiming for their first title in this competition. They have to fight against a miserable record at Wembley Stadium: only four of the 15 matches played were won, one of them in the semi-final against Southampton.
