Leicester City beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup for the first time in their history but their Premier League clash on Tuesday is every bit as important as both sides chase a top four finish

Watching Chelsea and Leicester contest an absorbing FA Cup Final, it seemed ludicrous to think that a mere league game between the two might prove more important than winning a major trophy.

Leicester made history for the second time in five years, winning the Cup for the first-time in their 137-year existence and producing a moment their fans, staff and owners will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Even Jamie Vardy looked close to tears at full-time as he wrote another chapter of his remarkable story. After becoming the only player to feature in every round of the FA Cup from the preliminary round to the Final, Vardy found the fairy-tale ending by lifting the trophy.
