The FA Cup Final awaits at Wembley as Chelsea take to the stage against a Leicester City side looking to win the competition for the first time.
After 90 minutes, Chelsea are the favourites at 19/20 with Betfred while Leicester are 16/5 while a draw is 5/2.
The Blues are the favourites to lift the trophy for the ninth time at 1/2 with the Foxes 13/8.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have beaten Morecambe, Luton Town, Barnsley, Sheffield United and Manchester City in the process – conceding just one goal against Championship side Luton.
Chelsea will be confident after seeing off favourites Man City in the semi-finals and looking to get one up against Brendan Rodgers’ after losing their first meeting of the season.
They have an impressive record against the Foxes in the competition anyway – winning all five meetings.
Chelsea’s Mateo Kovacic is fit after a five-week absence with a hamstring problem, while N’Golo Kante will start despite nursing an Achilles issue.
Goalkeeper Kepa is another confirmed starter but Andreas Christensen might not be available.
Leicester will assess the fitness of defender Jonny Evans, who has missed two games because of a heel injury.
Ricardo Pereira and James Maddison may not be risked from the start as they continue to strive for full fitness.
LAWRO’S PREDICTION
Chelsea’s midweek defeat to Arsenal opens the door a little to the teams below them in the race for the top four, especially because they are trying to win the FA Cup this weekend while their rivals play in the Premier League.
The Blues made seven changes for the Gunners game, which felt like too many to me – even with a game like this next. It obviously backfired because of the result they got.
Thomas Tuchel will pick his strongest team here though, and I think they will have too much for Leicester – the Foxes got a good win at Old Trafford on Tuesday, but that was against a weakened Manchester United side.
It will be close but, from what I’ve seen of Brendan Rodgers’ side in the past few weeks, I am not sure they have got enough about them to break down this Chelsea side.
Having around 20,000 fans back inside Wembley will help, though, especially for whichever team falls behind and needs to be lifted to come back.
I am still sticking with Chelsea to win it. They will create more chances, and they just have to take them.
