Why Chelsea are wearing yellow away kit vs Liverpool in FA Cup Final at Wembley

Chelsea wearing the all-yellow strip today as they face Liverpool at Wembley for the FA Cup final.. Jurgen Klopp's side will wear the traditional red kit.

The Blues, who won the 151-year-old competition in 2009 wearing a similar strip, wore the away kit in the semi-final, which saw Thomas Tuchel's side waltz past Crystal Palace 2-0. The last time the west Londoners rocked a yellow away strip was in the 2018/19 season, though the home kit was worn in the FA Cup triumph over Manchester United.

Ever since, Chelsea have fallen at the last hurdle in each of their previous two attempts to lift the FA Cup, losing to Arsenal and Leicester City in their home strip on both occasions. Though this time around, Tuchel side will don yellow and hope to rekindle the success they once enjoyed against Everton nearly 13-years ago - for the superstitious out there, connect the dots and the stars align.
