Wembley beckons for Chelsea Football Club this afternoon.
To be more precise, it`s an FA Cup semi-final against our London rivals Tottenham Hotspur with the winners set to take on either Manchester City or Arsenal who contest the second semi-final, on Sunday afternoon.
Of the two sides, it is Spurs who are on the run of better form, with the side from N17 having won their last eight consecutive games, whilst Chelsea have lost two out of their last four.
But we`d like to think form goes out of the window when it comes to the FA Cup!
Both sides will be believing that a win on Saturday afternoon would give them a chance of a unique League and FA Cup double, something both sides have done before, although in Spurs case footage can only be seen on Pathe News!
Recent games between the two sides have been a little feisty, the Premier League fixture between the two sides back in the 2015 / 2016 season became known as the ‘Battle of the Bridge` on a night when Chelsea came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2, a result that saw Leicester take the title.
That result rankled Spurs, after playing below their best for the majority of the season, the desire to see Spurs prevented from winning the title saw Chelsea rise to the challenge and produce their best performance of the season.
The meeting at Wembley could prove to be both interesting and feisty.
