Chelsea to wear Yellow in the FA Cup Final

When Chelsea take on Everton at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday, in the much-awaited FA Cup Final that draws the English season to a close, they will be wearing their yellow third shirt for the occasion. This game concludes the season for Chelsea and brings down the curtain on Guus Hiddink’s short spell at the club. The Dutchman who also manages the Russian national team has led the team to 3rd place in the league, hence an assured place in the Champions League 2009/10 group stage, as well as a controversial exit at the hands of Barcelona in the semifinal of the Champions League. The FA Cup is the perfect way to end this spell at the Londoners.

Their opponents, Everton, come from the city of Liverpool, and obtained 23 points less than their bitter rivals from Anfield, to score 63 points and rank 5th. Hence, they qualify automatically to the new Europa League play-off round. It promises to be an entertaining football match full of action, and hopefully good sportsmanship. The yellow Chelsea shirt will have the words ‘The FA Cup Final 2009′ embroidered above the crest, while ‘Wembley- 30th May’ will be embroidered below the crest. It has the FA Cup badges, and can be obtained for £39.99 without printing.
