Chelsea took down Manchester City in a 1-0 battle to reach the finals, while Leicester beat Southampton in similar fashion in the semis.
This will be a preview of one of the final Premier League matches of the season as Chelsea and Leicester are set to play just a few days after this match. That match has massive implications as Leicester currently sit in third with 66 points and Chelsea sit fourth with 64 points.
A win for Chelsea here would be manager Thomas Tuchel’s first trophy since he took over the job for Frank Lampard.
Those who bet on soccer know how much of a defensive powerhouse Chelsea has become since Tuchel took over, lowering their average goals allowed per match to less than 1.5. Chelsea has also yet to concede a goal in the FA Cup since Tuchel took over.
Now, Chelsea will look to avoid a second straight loss in the FA Cup final after losing to Arsenal last year.
Tuchel will make history regardless as he is the first German coach to lead a team to the FA Cup final.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers could also make history with a win by becoming the first man since Sir Alex Ferguson to win the Scotland and England national tournaments. However, his work is cut out for him as Leicester has lost all four of their FA Cup final appearances.
For Chelsea, all eyes will be on Christian Pulisic as the American looks to score in back-to-back FA Cup finals. Pulisic is still coming off the bench in recent matchups but could get the start this weekend.

Bettors looking to wager on the event can find Chelsea at a decent price at -110. In Tuchel’s first final on the job, it is hard to imagine they won’t go all out to bring some silverware back to Stamford Bridge.
Jimmy Reinman honed his skills across various mediums including print, radio, and broadcast before bringing his arsenal of knowledge to the team here at USAOnlineSportsbooks in 2020. When he’s not writing, you can find him in a state of focused stress on any College Football Saturday, or maniacally constructing NBA parlays on a cool spring evening.
