Nobody can accuse Chelsea of not taking the FA Cup seriously. The Roman Abramovich era at Stamford Bridge saw them lift the famous old trophy five times and lose a further three finals.
That includes the past two seasons, when the Blues have suffered defeats to Arsenal and Leicester City in what historians might one day label 'the Covid Cup finals' at a sparsely-populated Wembley.
As Thomas Tuchel's side march on the arch again, for Sunday's semi-final against Crystal Palace, there's no question Chelsea's season is in the last chance saloon.
