Leicester City have a big week coming up as they look to give their Champions League hopes a major boost as well as make club history by lifting the FA Cup.
City face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening and could go eight points clear of fifth place with a win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.
After that game, all eyes turn to Wembley for the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

It’s the first time that City have made the final of the competition since 1969, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to become the first Foxes team to lift the historic trophy.
In their way is Champions League finalists Chelsea, who have enjoyed a resurgence under Thomas Tuchel.
The German has lost just two of his 25 games in charge of the Blues, falling to a 5-2 defeat against relegated West Bromwich Albion back in April and a 1-0 Champions League defeat vs Porto last month.
Chelsea came out as 2-1 winners over Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday, a result which caused them to move above City in the table.
However, in that game, the Blues suffered an injury that could have an impact on the FA Cup final with defender Andreas Christensen having to leave the pitch in the closing stages of the first half.
Following the game, Tuchel gave an update on the center-back.
“I hope it’s not too bad,” he told Chelsea TV. “It’s more or less the same [injury] that he suffered some weeks ago around Porto games, I think, where we had to replace him.
“It was a 50/50 decision today [Saturday] whether we wanted to put him on the pitch or not. I hope we did not make a mistake. Because he’s so crucial for us in the last weeks — so, so strong.
“I hope we can escape with some days [of absence] and not weeks. But I’m not sure yet, I have no confirmation yet.”
