Chelsea and Leicester meet in the FA Cup final at Wembley today.

Both clubs are on course for a Champions League finish in the Premier League, which would represent a triumph for Brendan Rodgers given his budget and for Thomas Tuchel given the place he found Chelsea in when he took the job.

Now they have the chance to add silverware to that achievement.

Leicester have never won the FA Cup, finishing runners-up four times between the Second World War and the late 60s, and it would mark one of the greatest achievements in the club’s history after winning the Premier League title five years ago.

Chelsea are the joint-third most successful club in FA Cup history with Tottenham on eight, behind only Manchester United and Arsenal, and the Blues can collect their ninth here.
