Only team?

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]

Covid Passports

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]

Query re the substitution rules

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]
