After a week of huge ups and downs, Chelsea at least have something to look forward to at the end of the season.
Having suffered a heartbreaking exit against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Crystal Palace had the potential to be a testing assignment. But eventually, Thomas Tuchel would have been pleased with how his team eased to a 2-0 win.
They will face Liverpool in the FA Cup final on May 14, but before that the Blues have some challenging matches to negotiate in the Premier League. Wednesday's clash with Arsenal is followed by games against West Ham United and then Manchester United.
