What channel is the FA Cup final on? Kick off time, TV and live stream details


This weekend sees Chelsea and Leicester meet in the FA Cup final as both teams look to end the season on a high.

In the league the two sides are still trying to secure Champions League football for next season, but will also be desperate for silverware.

Chelsea come into the tie following a surprising loss last weekend against an Arsenal outfit struggling for direction and conviction.

Despite this, the Blues have been nearly unstoppable since Thomas Tuchel took over having done the double over Pep Guardiola’s Man City, and also have the small matter of a Champions League final to look forward to.

Leicester, meanwhile, have been wobbling slightly, but are still two points clear of Chelsea and have managed to hang onto a top four position as it stands after a much-needed win against Manchester United during the week.

Kovacic and Christensen are both returning from thigh injuries after a packed season taking its toll.
