Chelsea have endured a turbulent final few months of the Roman Abramovich era and will be aiming to start their new one with a bang, and an FA Cup double. The men’s and women’s teams will be at Wembley this weekend in the hope of bringing trophies back to Stamford Bridge to end the season on a sorely needed high note.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have fallen short of the expectations Chelsea had in August. After winning the Champions League and investing heavily in Romelu Lukaku, the manager and fans will have been hoping for greater success. They lost in the Carabao Cup final to Saturday’s opponents, Liverpool, and revenge for that would be sweet. The prospective new owners will want to spend money on players, and the club would be a far more attractive option for potential targets with another trophy in the cabinet.
