Am I right in thinking that Leicester are the only team to have been league champions of England but not won the FA Cup? -- Jameboy ( talk) 17:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC) reply

I was, they were, they aren't now. Sourced and added to article. -- Jameboy ( talk) 23:24, 15 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Hello, i thinking that Chelsea won the FA Cup 3-1 against Leicester City. -- Manchesterunited1234 ( talk) 15:30, 15 May 2021 (UTC) reply

And your source for this information? -- Jameboy ( talk) 23:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Who said they were wearing white? Looks like that got fixed yesterday. – Pee Jay 11:53, 16 May 2021 (UTC) reply

I have removed a sentence from the lead section claiming Covid passports were trialled at the match. This was not the case. The article is also wrong that a PCR test was required. This was not the case, it was a lateral flow "rapid" test that was required, the PCR test was requested to be taken 5 days later after the event. I went to the match, signed the waivers etc. Skeene88 ( talk) 18:48, 17 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The page for the final clearly shows Chelsea making 5 subs and Leicester 4 and the match rules section, under the pitch witht he formations, says 'Maximum of five substitutions, with a sixth allowed in extra time[note 2]'

Yet note 2 says 'Each team was given only three opportunities to make substitutions, with a fourth opportunity in extra time, excluding substitutions made at half-time, before the start of extra time and at half-time in extra time.'

I haven't followed the recent rule changes related to subs following the start of the pandemic - is this correct? It seems odd to me, unless it means you can make up to 5 subs, but you can only stop the game 3 times to do so (e.g you need to substitute more than one player at the same time on at least one occasion if you want to substitute 4 or 5 players)

Apologies if it is a silly question, but I haven't thought about this at all until I saw this match summary and I find it a little confusing and thus I also wonder if there may be other readers of the article - given the international following of the clubs invovled, some of them will likely have a lesser understanding of English than a native English speaker - who would find it confusing as well.

That's exactly what it means, three substitution breaks for up to five personnel changes per teams. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC) reply
