Chelsea faces Leicester City in the English FA Cup final. The match will be played on Saturday, May 15th at Wembley Stadium (London)
Chelsea shows perfect results under the management of a new coach. The team suffered only three defeats in 26 matches in all tournaments. In the rest of the games, the team chalked up 17 wins and six draws. The Blues suffered their third defeat in the previous round of the Premier League. Chelsea lost at home to Arsenal (0-1). The outcome was decided by a curious moment. Jorginho made a blind pass towards his goalkeeper, who was far from the ball's trajectory. It seemed that there would be an own goal, but Kepa managed to reach the ball and kicked it to the side. The problem was that all the Chelsea defenders stopped and did not cover the goalkeeper. Arsenal's players were the first on the rebounds and finished the moment in their favor. Although Chelsea made 327 touches in the final third (versus 98 for Arsenal) and delivered 19 shots on goal, the team didn’t manage to score.

The 1-2 win over Manchester United took the pressure off Leicester City for a short period. With two rounds to go to the end of the season, the Foxes are two points ahead of fourth-ranked Chelsea and eight points ahead of West Ham, which is in the fifth line. However, Leicester should hardly be judged by the game against Manchester United. The match was a kind of protest by Manchester United against the league's decision to stage the postponed game against Liverpool between the confrontations against Leicester and Fulham. As a result, the Devils fielded a semi-reserve lineup and showed an average level of football. Even with such a Manchester United, it was difficult for Leicester in the first half. The teams left for the break with the score of 1-1 and the advantage of Leicester in the number of chances (five shots against one for Manchester United), but Rogers' team did not have a qualitative superiority. However, the Foxes scored one goal in the second half and won.
Chelsea is extremely reliable in defense. The Blues conceded only ten goals in 17 Premier League matches under the new coach, and Premier League outsider West Brom scored five of them in the unsuccessful match for Chelsea (2-5). However, the Pensioner had 12 clean sheets in that segment. It will be difficult for Leicester to breach such a solid defense. In recent matches, the Foxes do not look confident. In the previous 11 Premier League games, Leicester beat only fairly average teams and clear outsiders. The team could not beat Arsenal (1-3), Burnley (1-1), Man City (0-2), West Ham (2-3), Southampton (1-1), and Newcastle (2-4). Chelsea is outperforming most of these teams and will give Leicester more problems. We recommend betting on low production in the upcoming final.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
