    Chelsea 0-0 Leicester

    I fully expect Chelsea to be on the front foot, commanding and trying to dominate this game, but they’ll be fully aware of what Leicester can offer on the counter-attack.

    Again Timo Werner is a threat down the right. He outpaces Caglar Söyüncü and crosses but again there's no-one there.

    Leicester need to get themselves sorted down that side of the pitch. Chelsea are getting in all too easily.

    Chelsea 0-0 Leicester

    Timo Werner gets in behind straight from the off down the right but he's got no support in the box and the cross is scooped up by Kasper Schmeichel.

    Jonny Evans is the rock in the middle of the Leicester defence. He has the know-how in there. Just having someone like that puts the others more at ease. Leicester need him he is a very good centre-half.

    Hopefully his injury is as good as it can be. He won't be able to feel much but when you are playing, you twist and turn and take knocks you are not expecting.

    Only in England, can 20,000 fans sound like 80,000. Good to see the soul of football back where they belong.

    What he [Jamie Vardy] has done is unbelievable.

    People forget he got to this stage via non-league. To get to the Premier League at 27 and do what's he is doing - it is amazing what he has done.

    Can't think of too many neutrals rooting for Chelsea today. One of Leicester's biggest games in their history; not even Chelsea's biggest game this month. In addition the West Londoners have left the competition's joint top scorer out of the squad and deserve to lose for the tracksuits alone! Come on Leicester!!

    I think Thomas Tuchel is getting to a situation where he has a strong bench as well. He is trying to get two first teams. You can get away with making four, five or six changes when you have a squad like that.

    Ben Chilwell has been great this season. He has not been too far away from Luke Shaw who has been the best (left-back). He has contributed in both boxes and he will be gutted. Anybody that misses out on selection for an FA Cup final will be devastated.

    It is so, so good to hear a proper atmosphere at Wembley again.

    Scarves are now being held aloft as Abide with Me, the FA Cup final's traditional pre-match ritual, is sang on the pitch by the B Positive Choir.

    HUGE roar as the final words are sung. Spinetingling.

    Stuck in traffic on the way to a match. It's not happened for a long while but it happened today as 21,000 fans made their way to Wembley for the FA Cup Final.

    This is the biggest crowd since lockdown and the first thing that strikes you is the noise after so many months of silent stadia with only players and managers to provide an eerie soundtrack.

    And how those inside Wembley are relishing sampling the big occasion once again. Huge roars for both sets of players as they went through their warm-ups.

    What a job Brendan Rodgers is doing. It could be an unbelievable day and even an unbelievable season for them. They're hoping they can go away with that trophy.

    You see the fans walking round, it's something we've had to without for so long and it's great to see them back.
