Chelsea have been allocated the home dressing room at Wembley ahead of the Blues' FA Cup final bout with Liverpool. Thomas Tuchel's side, who are the designated 'home team', have held the fort since the semi-final, while Jurgen Klopp's men have been dealt back-to-back away dressing rooms.
According to The FA, the west Londoners have only ever lost one FA Cup final when awarded the home dressing room, winning six from seven - the defeat came last year when Leicester City beat Chelsea 1-0. Though the Reds, on the other hand, have ever won one FA Cup final when they're the designated 'away team' since the competition formally launched.
In the same vein, Liverpool have lost seven from seven, with the most recent of which coming against Chelsea in 2012 when the Blues won 2-1 - and, of course, celebrated their triumph in the home dressing room. Chelsea have fallen at the last hurdle in each of their previous two attempts in the competition, losing to Arsenal and Leicester City - weirdly enough, from the away dressing room.
