What is the team news?
Chelsea are hoping that they can welcome Mateo Kovacic back into the side after his recent injury run out of the side.
N’Golo Kante missed the Arsenal loss with an Achilles problem and is a doubt for the final but could come on from the bench.
Hakim Ziyech will likely start the final after his heroics in the semi-final, with a view to giving Christian Pulisic a rest too.
Timothy Castagne will likely start in place of Marc Labrighton with Ricardo Pereira also fit to start.
James Maddison is also fit and should start, with Jamie Vardy starting up front.
Jonny Evans has a foot injury but should just about make it intimidates for the final to start alongside Wesley Fofana.
