Manchester United go into the final as favourites, with Chelsea’s odds lengthening in the past few days. All of the following odds are the best odds available from UK bookmakers, provided by our odds comparison service.
To win in 90 minutes, United have been chalked up at 6/4 with a number of bookmakers, whilst Chelsea are significantly longer at 9/4 with Betfred. The draw is an attractive 11/5 with Sky Bet.
