Why Chelsea have opted to wear yellow kit in FA Cup final vs Liverpool

Chelsea will line-up at Wembley for Saturday's FA Cup final in an all-yellow strip despite the fact there is no kit clash with opponents Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's men will stick with their traditional red kit, much like they did when the two sides met at the same stadium earlier this season to contest the Carabao Cup final. Chelsea have a stellar history in the FA Cup and won the competition in 2009 while donning a yellow kit when they beat Everton in the final.

The Blues booked their place in this season's final with a comfortable semi-final victory over fellow London outfit Crystal Palace, a game in which they also wore yellow. The last campaign that saw Chelsea boast a yellow away kit was the 2018/19 season - where they won the FA Cup, though did so while wearing blue in the final against Manchester United.
