Blues’ Title Rivals to Take Advantage of Cup Obligations

Chelsea are taking a break from the Premier League this weekend to concentrate on the FA Cup and their supporters will be hoping strugglers Burnley and Wolves can do them a favour in the title race. The Blues’ surprise defeat at home to Manchester City last week has certainly opened the door for title rivals Manchester United and Arsenal, and it’s hard to believe both won’t take advantage this Saturday. Carlo Ancelotti’s team still remain narrow favourites for the crown, however. (more…)

FA Cup

The FA Cup reaches the quarter final stage this weekend with Chelsea the firm 11/10 favourites to retain the trophy they won at Wembley in May.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side have not been on the best form in recent weeks, and host a Stoke side who were unbeaten in 2010 before Arsenal’s late show at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

United have shown signs of taking this tournament more seriously in recent years with two of their three League Cup wins coming in the last four years. The reigning champions have played a much stronger side in the Carling Cup in the last couple of years and haven’t lost a fixture in the tournament since September 2008. (more…)

Chelsea Good Value to Give City the Blues

All in all, I expect Carlo Ancelotti wouldn’t have been too disappointed about Chelsea returning from their Champions League tie in Milan with just a one-goal deficit and the Premier League leaders should return to winning ways against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

While the Londoners were facing Inter, City were being dumped out of the FA Cup by Stoke and being taken to extra-time in the process. (more…)
