Two sides that are no strangers to lifting the famous trophy, so DAZN News' looks back at Chelsea's previous triumphs in the competition. 

How many times has Chelsea won the FA Cup? 

The Blues had to wait until 1970 to get their hands on the trophy, but have now won the competition eight times in their history - often thanks to the killer instincts of Didier Drogba. 

Their last win came in 2018; however, they did appear in three consecutive finals from 2020-2022, but lost all three. 

1970 - Chelsea 2-2 Leeds (aet) 
1970 replay - Chelsea 2-1 Leeds (aet) 

A first win in the competition and a first-ever major trophy came in 1970, when Chelsea overcame rivals Leeds over two games that both went into extra-time. 

The teams couldn't be separated after a 2-2 draw, and so it was then a replay three days later, where David Webb eventually secured the win for the West Londoners. 

1997 - Chelsea 2-0 Middlesbrough 

27 years after their first win, Roberto Di Matteo wasted no time putting Chelsea in the driving seat as he recorded what was then the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal. 

Eddie Newton added a second as Ruud Gullit became the first foreign boss to win the famous trophy. 

2000 - Chelsea 2-0 Aston Villa 

The last FA Cup final at the old Wembley Stadium and it was Chelsea who triumphed under the iconic twin towers. 

In a drab affair, it was Roberto Di Matteo, who again got the all-important goal, in a game that saw the winners field only one English player in their line-up. 

2007 - Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United 

Ironically, it was Chelsea who contested the first FA Cup Final at the new Wembley, too as they bested Manchester United in the newly built home of football. 

Didier Droga began his uncanny knack for scoring on the big occasions by scoring the only goal to settle the game between these title rivals.

2009 - Chelsea 2-1 Everton 

Guus Hiddink completed his Chelsea cameo by bossing them to another FA Cup win over Everton. 

The Toffees took the lead inside 25 seconds through Tim Cahill, but goals from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard saw the Blues (but in yellow) take the cup home. 

2010 - Chelsea 1-0 Portsmouth 

Chelsea made it back-to-back FA Cup wins this time under Carlo Ancelotti as they beat 2008 winners Portsmouth. 

Only one goal was needed to settle it and of course, it was that man Didier Drogba who did it again as the Blues completed the double for the first time in their history. 

2012 - Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool 

Roberto Di Matteo continued his love affair with the final by leading Chelsea to another FA Cup win, this time as manager. 

Ramieres gave the Blues the lead before Andy Caroll levelled the tie and in the end it was up to, yep, Didier Drogba to secure another triumph. 

2018 - Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United 

The last time Chelsea lifted the famous trophy was eight years ago, as Antonio Conte bested Blues' former boss Jose Mourinho and his Man United side.

An utterly forgettable game was settled by Eden Hazard's 22nd-minute penalty.
