When is FA Cup final 2022 kick-off time? Liverpool v Chelsea TV coverage, tickets - explained

After five rounds, a quarter final and semi final, the FA Cup has finally been whittled down to its’ last two teams.

When the competition began, the likes of Yeovil Town, Ebbsfleet United and Rochdale were all competing to make it to this point and of those lower league sides, it was Kidderminster that managed to keep the dream alive the longest.

The National League North side were finally overcome by West Ham in the fourth round in the final minutes of extra-time.

The Harriers were highlighting what the FA Cup means for English football - teams from all leagues competing and mixing with the top flight, often edging out the bigger boys and creating a refreshing level of dramatics in the sport.

However, the two top flights came in at the third round, which saw Liverpool and Chelsea conquer their subsequent opponents with relative ease - they now find themselves coming head to head once again, in a repeat of February’s Carabao Cup final, for the coveted trophy.

The Blues bagged victories over Chesterfield, Plymouth Argyle, Luton Town, Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace to seal their place in the final while the Reds were triumphant over Shrewsbury, Cardiff City, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.

While Chelsea still have work to do to qualify for the Champions League, Liverpool are focusing on not one but three competitions. The Reds have five Premier League fixtures to try and beat Manchester City to the top spot while also preparing for the UEFA Champions League final in just under three weeks.

As both teams gear up for the final of one of England’s most historic tournaments, here is all you need to know ahead of the fixture at Wembley...
