Narrative:

While on ILS approach to runway xxc at ZZZ; approaching the FAF; we were configured with gear down and flaps at 20 and were planning a flaps 25 approach and landing. At this point we felt a slight rumble or shudder and the first officer and I commented to each other that that felt kind of strange but nothing seemed out of the ordinary; however shortly after that the aircraft went through an electrical power transfer and the autopilot kicked off. We also had multiple EICAS messages. Initially we thought we had just lost the left generator; as there was no noticeable yawing tendency; and ran the generator off checklist. The generator did not reset. As I started to scan all the EICAS messages; I noticed that the left engine instruments were all spooled back and at that time realized the left engine had failed. It was not intuitive as the plane showed no yawing or rolling tendency initially. At this point we were at or inside the FAF. We [requested priority handling] with tower and advised them we had lost the left engine and were continuing for landing on runway xxc. The first officer grabbed the qrc and quickly ran through the engine fire severe damage or separation checklist. The checklist was completed and airspeed bugs set for flaps 20 landing. The landing was uneventful and we slowed to taxi speed and cleared the runway to the right at the high speed turnoff then pulled on to taxiway P and stopped for emergency vehicles to inspect the left engine. After fire and rescue inspected the engine; they advised us there was no visible sign of engine damage or fluid leakage. Believing the engine was no threat we coordinated to continue the taxi to the ramp; and emergency vehicles followed us to parking with no further issues. Although things were time compressed; we both felt we had run the necessary checklist and were prepared and set up for the single engine landing. Getting the plane safely on the ground as soon as possible was the priority as we did not know why the left engine had failed.

Title: Flight Crew reported engine failure at final approach fix which caused them to request priority handling and continue to landing.
