Chelsea trophy route uncertain as Crystal Palace fixture predicts Thomas Tuchel's Wembley curse

Just like that, Chelsea will be heading back to Wembley just under a month after their last visit. This will be Thomas Tuchel’s third time in Wembley. He has yet to find some luck there, but this might be when we see a turn in fortunes. We might as well have our own residential spots reserved in the stadium now.

The Blues will face Crystal Palace, and whilst I love a good FA Cup upset, it seems written in the stars that they will advance to yet another final. This time around, they could face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. They could even potentially face Liverpool as the two title contenders go up against each other in the other semi-final.

I wouldn’t mind either Liverpool or City. Bring them both on.
