Everything is focused on making sure Chelsea reach the Final for a second season in a row with the Premier League put on the back burner for a week. Chelsea have come from 2-0 down to beat Southampton and also beat Burnley 1-2 at Turf Moor on Thursday to just put some momentum behind them going into this Semi-Final. Marcos Alonso is suspended, while David Luiz and Danny Drinkwater are in doubt. Southampton would accept defeat in the FA Cup Semi-Final if it meant avoiding relegation from the Premier League, but that is beginning to look more and more unlikely in each passing week. The Saints will have at least 4 points to make up on Swansea City when they are back in League action, while the majority of recent successes have come in the FA Cup.
