Ruben Loftus-Cheek has declared Chelsea are fired up to get their own back at Liverpool after progressing to the FA Cup final with victory over Crystal Palace.
The midfielder, 26, scored the decisive goal in a 2-0 victory over the Eagles on Sunday afternoon to set up a Wembley Stadium showdown with the Reds, who defeated Manchester City 3-2 in the other semi-final one day earlier. This means Chelsea and Liverpool will face off in a second cup final this season after meeting in the Carabao Cup in February.
The Blues were on the losing side that day after a tense penalty shootout in which goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga fired his spot-kick over the bar. Loftus-Cheek has no doubt Chelsea's heartbreak that day will give them added motivation to defeat Liverpool in May's FA Cup final.
