Tuchel's Chelsea Hope To Stop Man City Quadruple Chase

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea may have two-shot to jeopardize Manchester City's bid for an unprecedented quadruple -- but can end the chase as early as Saturday, when the two sides clash in an FA Cup semi-final.

In-form Chelsea will fancy their chances at Wembley in a match that could serve as a prelude for the Champions League final.

Leicester take on Southampton in front of returning fans in the other semi, while there is a clutch of Premier League matches that will influence the outcome of the top-four race and the relegation battle.

Leicester are hoping to reach the FA Cup final for the first time since 1969 in front of fans -- with the semi-final serving as a test event for the return of supporters after the coronavirus shutdown.
