FA Cup Final: Chelsea Vs Leicester City Free Match Preview And Prediction For Saturday 15th May, 2021.

In one of the standout fixtures on the English football calendar, Chelsea face Leicester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Chelsea beat Morecambe, Luton Town and Barnsley in the early rounds, before knocking out Sheffield United in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, the Blues got the better of Manchester City, with Hakim Ziyech scoring the only goal of the game.

Chelsea have beaten Manchester City in the Premier League since then and will come up against Pep Guardiola’s side in the Champions League final. Since Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard back in January, the Blues have only lost three of their 26 games in all competitions. Better still, they have kept a whopping 18 clean sheets in that time – giving them a shutout rate of almost 70%.

Leicester City saw off Stoke City, Brentford and Brighton before beating Manchester United 3-1 in the quarter-finals. The Foxes then beat Southampton in the last four, thanks to a goal from in-form forward Kelechi Iheanacho.

Leicester City have only lost one of their previous five league matches and head into Saturday’s final on the back of a 2-1 victory over Manchester United. Remarkably, Iheanacho has bagged 15 goals and three assists in his last 17 appearances – including four goals and one assist in three FA Cup matches.

Leicester City claimed a 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the Premier League back in January. That proved to be Lampard’s final game in charge of the Blues. Interestingly, the Foxes have only lost one of their last eight meetings with Chelsea – picking up two wins and five draws along the way.

PREDICTION; I FANCY LEICESTER CITY TO WIN THE FA CUP.
