    Leicester have had to wait a long time for an FA Cup final appearance - their first since 1969.

    It promises to be a special occasion, but also a day to remember late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

    He took over the club in 2010 and oversaw the Foxes' rise to Premier League champions before he sadly died in a helicopter crash in 2018.

    "I’d love to win it for Khun Vichai and his family,” said Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers.

    “His spirit and presence will be with us there on the day."

    Leicester fans are making the most of what will be a first FA Cup final experience for many.

    This is a finely crafted tinfoil cup. One of the best I've seen.

  9. 'It will be close'published at 16:05 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    Chelsea v Leicester (17:15 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    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.

    Prediction: 1-0

    Travelling down the motorway, horns pipping and scarves fluttering from the windows of passing cars.

    Parking up and joining fellow fans on the journey to the stadium, chanting, singing, some banging drums.

    Then you'd be at Wembley Way, the anticipation as you pass through the turnstiles and make your way through the concourse, up the steps and out into the inner sanctum of Wembley, to be greeted by this view.

    We've missed a lot of what we enjoy about football because of the pandemic, but around 20,000 lucky fans will get to live that matchday experience for today's FA Cup final.

    And with Leicester playing in their first final for 52 years and Chelsea bidding for a first trophy of the Thomas Tuchel era, it is all set up for a memorable encounter.
