Horror injuries, mystery line-ups and even losing as favourites... Leicester City are the ultimate FA Cup final flops as they look for fifth time lucky against Chelsea - so what went wrong in their four previous Wembley appearances?

For Leicester City, this is the one they’ve always dreamed of lifting. Forget the Premier League miracle, it is the FA Cup the fans have longed for more than any other. The one that’s always eluded them.

Four FA Cup finals, four defeats. No one has reached that many without winning it. On Saturday, Brendan Rodgers’ side have the chance to make it fifth time lucky when they take on Chelsea at Wembley.

It’s been 52 years since they last got there. It’s a tale of underdog stories, mystery selections, horror injuries, controversy, Norman Wisdom and a performance from Gordon Banks that rivalled his heroics against Pele at the 1970 World Cup.
