Chelsea vs Crystal Palace: Tuchel's team will reach the FA Cup final

Chelsea and Crystal Palace face each other in a head-to-head encounter at Wembley. The teams will fight for a place in the FA Cup final. Can the Eagles create a sensation?

Chelsea return to the capital of England after a tough return leg against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Aristocrats managed a comeback from 1:3 at Stamford Bridge. In extra time, Thomas Tuchel's team failed to keep an eye on Karim Benzema, who scored the decisive goal. Chelsea won 3:2 and were relegated to the prestigious European competition. As for their FA Cup performance, the Londoners scored two unanswered goals against Nottingham Forest in the quarter-final stage. Chelsea is in third place in the English league.

Patrick Vieira's side hosted Everton at home in the previous FA Cup round. As expected, the Eagles played a good game against the problematic Toffees. The Crystal Palace players scored four unanswered goals and left no chance. The Londoners failed to extend their unbeaten run in the English Premier League last weekend. On the road, Vieira's side lost 1-2 to Leicester City. Crystal Palace sits tenth in the EPL.

Crystal Palace has surprised many people with their quality play in the FA Cup. Vieira's side is in excellent form, but reaching the final of the tournament will be extremely difficult. The FA Cup is the perfect opportunity for Tuchel to make this season considered a good one for the Aristocrats. Despite a tough match against Real Madrid this week, Chelsea will be ready to beat their neighbours. We believe there will be no sensation in this match, but we can expect serious resistance from Crystal Palace.
