RODGERS URGES LEICESTER TO CREATE ‘LEGACY’
BRENDAN RODGERS has called on Leicester to create history in tomorrow’s FA Cup final.
The Foxes face Chelsea at Wembley in their first FA Cup final in 52 years and are yet to win the trophy.
The club has lost all four previous finals, the last coming against Manchester City in 1969, and Rodgers knows the Foxes can leave a legacy.
He said: ‘We have earned the right to be in the final and we will arrive with an opportunity to make our own history. We feel we’re in with a chance and if we can play to our level we have a great chance.
‘We have watched it (the cup final) all through our lives. To be able to lead Leicester out for the first time in 50-odd years will be a real privilege for me. These weeks you always have to stay calm. This is a game where you can create an incredible legacy.
Defender Jonny Evans faces a race against time to make the final having missed the last two games with a persistent heel problem. Rodgers will give him as long as possible to prove his fitness.
