Chelsea draw Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley

Chelsea have drawn Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will meet on the weekend of April 16 at Wembley Stadium. The Blues managed to overcome Middlesbrough, Luton Town, Plymouth Argyle and Chesterfield to reach the final four.

Thomas Tuchel's men have already beaten the Eagles twice this season, managing a 1-0 win at Selhurst Park while the reverse fixture was a 3-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge. Another result like those will book the Blues their third FA Cup final in a row.

The German coach will certainly be hoping it is third time lucky though, as his side have lost the past two finals in the competition on the bounce, having done so to Arsenal and then Leicester City last year. The trip to Wembley could also put to rest the memories of a Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool last month..
