The Emirates FA Cup final 2021 is here. Chelsea face Leicester on Saturday as they battle for a chance to lift the domestic trophy.
Chelsea have had a brilliant run of form ever since Frank Lampard was replaced by Thomas Tuchel as their manager.The Blues have managed to beat the likes of Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid and Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid to reach the 2021 champions league final.
Chelsea face Manchester City in the final with the Blues having beaten them twice under Thomas Tuchel’s tactics. One of those matches was the FA cup semi-final which Chelsea won 1-0. Thomas Tuchel will aim to mark his brilliant period at Chelsea by winning this trophy. The Blues lost in last year’s final to Arsenal in a match that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bagged a brace.
Leicester City on the other hand are fighting for a place in next season’s champions league football. The Foxes are in a better position to achieve that while Chelsea could battle it out with Liverpool as the premier league comes to a close. Brendan Rodgers will aim to lead Leicester in winning their first FA Cup title since the competition began. The Foxes have never won the FA Cup despite appearing in four finals(1948-49,1960-61,1962-63,1968-69).
