Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Mauricio Pochettino’s pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final showdown with Manchester City.
The Blues, a few days after the demolition job they conducted on Everton in the Premier League, will be hoping they can reach the final of a second competition this season. Meanwhile, Man City are looking to retain the FA Cup after winning it as part of their treble-winning campaign last time around.
City, though, played out a gruelling 120 minutes against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening as they crashed out of the UEFA Champions League at the quarter-final stage. Pochettino will be hoping his squad can use the extra 48 hours worth of rest to their advantage when the two teams go head-to-head for the third time this season on Saturday evening.
It is set to be another extremely busy press conference for the Chelsea head coach at Cobham. You can follow every word he has to say with Bobby Vincent, who is live at the Blues’ Surrey-based training complex.
