Chelsea will aim to go one better in this season's FA Cup as they gear up for Saturday's final against Leicester City in front of 21,000 spectators at Wembley.

The Blues missed out on lifting the prestigious trophy last season as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the final, and they head into this battle having just lost to the Gunners 1-0 in the Premier League.

Thomas Tuchel will lead his side out as he endeavours to claim his first piece of silverware in the Chelsea dugout, with Saturday's showpiece event representing Chelsea's 15th appearance in the final.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the final.
