Chelsea’s game against Man City in the FA Cup final this weekend is already what we’re all thinking about, and our former coach Glenn Hoddle has some advice on how we might take down Pep Guardiola’s juggernaut.

Chelsea need to use pace in midfield to break up Man City

“I would say that they’ve got to really sit down with the staff and say to themselves ‘Where can we hurt them?’ And play a team that suits that. If it’s going to be on the counter, you’re going to need some pace – and maybe pace from midfield, rather than just up front,” Hoddle said.

“But Chelsea have got individuals, they can still win this game. They’ve got individuals who could turn it on on any given day, even though they’re in bad form. A cup final is a cup final. City found it hard last year against Palace, and it’s happened in the past in cup finals. I don’t think it’s all negative for Chelsea. It’s a one-off hit.”

Hoddle also advised Chelsea to not try and sit deep and keep City at bay – probably wise when you consider the standard of our defending of late.

Xabi Alonso is now the favourite to be the new Chelsea manager, and Liverpool supporters are scratching their heads and trying to work out why they’re not dropping everything to get their former coach in.
