City of course are going to be a hugely tough opponent for Chelsea, beating them 3-0 in the league only a few weeks back now. Chelsea will need to turn up and play much better than they did that afternoon if they are to stand any chance at all of winning the competition.
Defender Trevoh Chalobah sounds up for it, and he has issued a bit of a rallying cry to his team mates ahead of the game this week.

The England defender tells the Chelsea website:
“This final means a lot.
“We’ve been up and down at Wembley over recent years, and this one means a lot for the players and the fans. We want to win this.”
“It’s time for us to grab it with both hands and give it our all. It has not been the season we wanted, but we have the chance to win a trophy. We know how big the FA Cup is, and to win three trophies in two years would be an achievement.”,
