As one opportunity ends, another is already on the horizon as fresh from Champions League defeat Chelsea endeavour to earn a place in their fourth final of the season by overcoming Crystal Palace at Wembley. It's a case of unfinished business for the Blues who have found themselves as the runner-up in the FA Cup in the previous two seasons with defeats to Leicester City and Arsenal - Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to go one step better on this occasion.
Chelsea face off with their London rivals on Sunday, after Manchester City and Liverpool compete at the same venue so Tuchel's side can earn a win against the Eagles, they will once again have an opportunity to prove themselves against the Premier League's best. However, Patrick Vieira and Palace presented plenty of problems.
Tuchel has used the FA Cup to rotate his side throughout the rounds so far but this is the first time Chelsea face a top flight team in the competition having dispatched Chesterfield, Plymouth Argyle, Luton Town and Middlesbrough on their way to the penultimate stage. Crystal Palace will likely offer the Blues their stiffest test so far.
