I'm recreating the Wembley Way experience by pissing all over the hallway. Never too early to start the experience.
I would advise against it, I did mine and now I can't unlock my phone.
Head-to-head
- Chelsea have won all seven previous FA Cup ties against Leicester, two of which went to a replay.
- This is the second time Leicester and Chelsea have met in a domestic cup final. The Blues won 3-2 on aggregate in the 1964-65 League Cup final.
- Leicester's only cup victory over Chelsea was by 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the 1983-84 League Cup second round second leg. The Foxes had lost the first leg 2-0, and lost the tie on penalties.
- Chelsea are winless in six Premier League fixtures against Leicester (D4, L2). Their 2-0 defeat at King Power Stadium in January was Frank Lampard's final league match as manager of the Blues.
- Chelsea have reached the FA Cup final for the fourth time in five seasons. They beat Manchester United in 2018 but lost to Arsenal in both 2017 and 2020.
- This is Chelsea's 15th FA Cup final and they've won the competition eight times. Only Arsenal and Manchester United can better those two tallies.
- Seven of their eight wins in FA Cup finals were by a one-goal margin. The exception was a 2-0 victory against Middlesbrough in 1997.
- Those eight FA Cup final victories were under eight different managers.
- Thomas Tuchel will become the first German manager to lead his side out for an FA Cup final, with the Blues still yet to concede a goal under him in this season's competition.
- The Foxes are the only club among the 24 top-flight champions never to have won the FA Cup.
- Leicester have equalled the club record of five consecutive FA Cup victories, set from January to April 1963.
- They have only won four of their 15 games at Wembley (D1, L10).
- Leicester are appearing in the final of a major cup competition for the first time since 2000, when they beat Tranmere 2-1 at Wembley in the League Cup final.
- Brendan Rodgers has won all six of his finals as a manager: the Championship play-off with Swansea City in 2010-11, and three League Cups and two Scottish Cups with Celtic.
