Eyes on Chelsea for FA Cup glory

A mere couple of weeks ago Chelsea were rocking on the ropes like a punch-drunk boxer. Now they are pushing for a top-four place in the Premier League, into the quarter finals of the Champions League and on Sunday powered into the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

The draw for the Champions League has kept the Blues away from Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, while they have avoided Liverpool in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

It would be a remarkable turnaround in fortunes were Chelsea to make off with the Champions League, for which they are 10/1, but it is far more likely that they could grab the FA Cup for the fourth time in six years. Bet365 rate their chances as 12/5, with Liverpool just shading them for favouritism at 2/1.

FA Cup odds:

Liverpool 2/1

Chelsea 12/5

Tottenham 3/1

Sunderland 8/1

Everton 9/1

Bolton 33/1
