Manager-less Chelsea take on Leeds United at Wembley on Sunday afternoon in the second of the FA Cup semi-final ties.
Liam Rosenior was finally relieved of his duties just four months after taking charge of the Blues following a thumping 3-0 defeat away at Brighton & Hove Albion – on an evening my Bet of the Day landed.
That result means Chelsea have now lost each of their previous five Premier League fixtures, all without scoring, meaning they’ve slipped down to eighth position, with their hopes of Champions League qualification virtually over.
Chelsea only win in their previous eight matches did come in this competition, as they thrashed League One basement dwellers Port Vale 7-0 at the Bridge.
After knocking out Championship opposition in their opening three ties, Leeds edged past fellow Premier League side West Ham United in the quarter-finals on penalties after blowing a two-goal lead inside 90 minutes.
Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella, Santos, Caicedo, Neto, Garnacho, Fernandez, Pedro
Leeds United: Perri, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Justin, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson, Aaronson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin
