Chelsea continued life without Roman Abramovich as owner with a win in the FA Cup and manager Thomas Tuchel has said his side have come to terms with the new normal.
Replacing owner Abramovich could be a difficult task with suitors having made a bid prior to Friday night's deadline. One of the consortiums bidding to buy a stake in the west London club is The True Blues, who boast former Blues captain John Terry as part of the group.
On the field, Saturday evening's victory over Middlesbrough was meant to have a scarce number of away fans, if any, but around 600-700 Chelsea supporters were on hand to watch the action live.

Players are adapting
Chelsea continued their winning run since being made to operate under a special license since owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government.
With no clarity over the next owner and present plans thrown in the air, Thomas Tuchel has been forced to manage in the most unusual circumstances. But that hasn't prevented him from getting the job done on the pitch as the Blues reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
And Tuchel has said that the team are focused on what they have to do on the pitch.
Terry's a True Blue
With Chelsea on the look out for a new owner to succeed Abramovich, one of the groups looking to take over is being backed by ex-captain John Terry.
The True Blues consortium are looking to buy a stake in the west London club and made a bid by Friday's deadline. Another former Chelsea defender, Claire Rafferty, is also involved with the supporter-backed group. Terry released a statement on Twitter outlining why he has got on board.
Abramovich took over in 2003 and led the club to the heights of European football, winning every trophy available.
Blues fans make away trip
Part of the sanctions against Chelsea prevented tickets being sold to fans at home and away games unless they were pre-purchased by a season ticket holder.
Ahead of Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough, Chelsea were forced to return 3,200 tickets even though around 700 were already sold. But that didn't stop 600 loyal fans making the trip over the weekend to cheer their team to victory and clinch a FA Cup semi-final berth.
And a few may have even managed to snag some home tickets in order to witness the game live inside the stadium.
