On 9 January 2021, Albrighton scored his first goal for Leicester for 53 matches in all competitions, netting his side's second in their 4–0 win over Stoke City in the third round of the FA Cup. His first Premier League goal of the 2020–21 season came on 8 May 2021 in a 2–4 home defeat against Newcastle United. He would help the Foxes win their first-ever FA Cup later that month, coming on for an injured Jonny Evans in the 34th minute in the final.
