FA Cup Final - Chelsea vs Leicester

FA Cup Final | Saturday 15th May 2021 | 17.15pm

It's the FA Cup final this weekend live from Wembley stadium and it's Chelsea vs Leicester in the battle for silverware. We take look at the stats and provide the best predictions and football tips.


Both teams will be keen to get their hands on the trophy with Chelsea looking to avenge their defeat to Arsenal last year and Leicester in their first FA Cup final since 1969.

Experience of big matches and winning trophies points to Chelsea in their 15th cup final whilst this is only Leicester's 5th and they have lost all five of them. Chelsea are eight time FA Cup winners and Tuchel would love to add a ninth and his first. The game will be played in front of 21,000 fans and whilst the majority may well be corporate there should be a good atmosphere.


After the loss to Arsenal midweek with a much changed line up Chelsea will come into this fresh and with their strongest line up and will go into the game as favorites. They create chances but the key will be whether they can finish them, something they have struggled to do at times this season.


Chelsea - Team Form


Chelsea have been in good form and before their midweek loss to Arsenal were 8 in a row unbeaten. Tuchel has set them up in a style with three at the back that suits as it makes them more solid, allows them to control the game and still use the pace of Werner, Havertz and Pulisic on the break.

Only one of Chelsea's last five games have gone over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea lost to Arsenal in their most recent game and conceded early due to mix up between Jorginho and Kepa and struggled to break Arsenal down to get back into the game. Despite making seven changes it was still a strong Chelsea line up so i do think it is a game worth taking into account and i do think we could see Leicester learn a lot from Arsenals approach to that game.


Chelsea have averaged 4 corners per game and 1 cards. But both have been very inconsistent with most of those corners coming in the recent game against Arsenal where they fell behind. They have won two or less corners on five occasions in their last seven matches and it appears Tuchel's change of style is really restricting Chelsea's ability to win corners favouring keeping the ball on the pitch.


Leicester - Team Form


Leicester have won three of their last five games an impressive ten goals in that period. They have though suffered defensively conceding in four of those. That is despite a change to five at the back that should in theory make them more solid and allows Iheanacho to partner Jamie Vardy up top.

Four of Leicester's last five games have gone over 2.5 goals.

Leicester's last match was against Manchester United, a game they won 1-2. That was though a Man United side that was much change after only playing two days before. Luke Thomas scored a great volley and Caglar Soyuncu grabbed the winner.


Leicester have averaged just over 7 corners per game and only 0.2 yellow cards. Leicester have been very consistent corner wise winning 7 or more in four of their last five games.


Key Players

Iheanacho has been in great form scoring three goals in five games and for the Chelsea the goalscorers have been fairly mixed with Havertz scoring the most recently with two in five but both of them came in one game.


Betting Tips

It's a contrast of styles as Chelsea have been involved in low scoring games and Leicester recently being involved in high scoring games. Both sides don't receive a lot of cards.

Leicester have consistently averaged a much higher amount of corners.
