Reigning champions Leicester City secured their first ever FA Cup title in 2021 thanks to Youri Tielemans' barnstorming effort from range that would've punched a hole in the Wembley stands had it not been for the net.
Just 20,000 fans were able to attend the game, but that's all set to change in 2022 with a full-house anticipated for the first time since the 2019 FA Cup final.
