Leicester, forced out of the blue shirts in which they lost the 1949, 1961 and 1969 finals – they wore white in 1963 – will this time try their luck in Heart of Midlothian maroon. Let’s hope for their sake they channel the late-50s pomp of Dave Mackay and Alex ‘Golden Vision’ Young, as opposed to, say, 1986’s distinctly more unfortunate John Robertson and John Colquhoun. Hats will be very much off if any of Brendan Rodgers’ men reference Hearts maestro Tommy Murray by taking a seat on the ball in the build-up to the deciding goal. 3.45pm BST
Chelsea will sport a mind-bending new shirt today. It’s a homage to Op-Art, an illusionary visual style which has its roots in the Bauhaus, the famous German art school, so Thomas Tuchel doubtless approves, and was popularised during the swinging Sixties, for example in the fashions of the nearby Kings Rahd. The concept stretches a point beyond the limits of a £104.95 recycled polyester shirt, but to be fair, it does look lovely and you’d need a heart of stone not to enjoy the accompanying film, which could only be more Sixties if it concluded with Tuchel driving off in an E-type Jag with a leggy model.
