Just a few months ago Chelsea were fighting on five fronts, but now the Blues have just one prize left to win.
A gutless loss to Arsenal saw Antonio Conte’s men tumble from the Carabao Cup, then a string of poor performances saw them slip impossibly far behind in the league.
Last night saw a 3-0 loss to Barcelona that finally extinguished the Champions League dream for good.
Now there’s just one prize left on the table: the FA Cup that eluded Conte last year.
It won’t be easy. This weekend’s game is against Leicester. The Foxes have a strong squad, and most importantly, like Chelsea, they have nothing else to play for. They are one of the few teams who are safe from relegation, and their season comes down to this trophy too.
It remains to be seen how morale will be at Cobham, but Conte is likely to face a tough task in getting his players up for the game this weekend quickly.
