Tuchel has won three of his first five finals as Chelsea manager.

His first ended in a 1-0 defeat by Leicester City in last season's FA Cup final.

Tuchel has lost both of his Wembley finals to date, having also suffered a defeat by Liverpool in the EFL Cup final earlier this season.

That match ended 0-0 after 120 minutes and was eventually settled in a penalty shootout, where Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was the only player to miss after all 22 players had stepped up.

In between his two final losses with Chelsea, Tuchel won three in a row as he added the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup to his list of honors.
