OLIVER HOLT AT WEMBLEY: Enzo Fernandez is enough of an unprepossessing individual that‚ at the start of this month‚ he was banned for two matches by his own club but he is still capable of being a very fine footballer for Chelsea when the mood takes him. On Sunday afternoon at Wembley‚ the mood took him. The histrionics of some of his team-mates - Moises Caicedo and Pedro Neto deserve special mention - might have made the unflinching heroes of Chelsea's FA Cup winning team of 1970 weep in despair. But Fernandez played with the kind of unrelenting steel and unremitting excellence that would have allowed him to hold his own amid the blood and thunder of earlier eras and it was fitting that it was his first half header that took Chelsea to the FA Cup Final‚ where they will meet Manchester City on May 16.
‘Has given the green light': Chelsea closing in on deal for ‘world-class' midfielder wanted by Real Madrid
KIERAN GILL: Liam Rosenior spent much of his pre-match press conference talking up the importance of this FA Cup tie. Important for Chelsea to win their first domestic cup since 2018. Important they do not underestimate Championship Wrexham. Important they take it seriously. Then his starters and substitutes were revealed‚ and that team sheet felt like something of a contradiction. No Cole Palmer in the squad. No Enzo Fernandez. No Moises Caicedo. Nine changes. A new back three set-up‚ with Tosin Adarabioyo at the heart of it and captaining the side‚ despite a fair few Chelsea fans not considering him up to their club's standards.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has warned his ill-disciplined players that they face the axe if they can't get their behaviour in order after yet another red card on Sunday. Pedro Neto was given his marching orders in the second-half as Chelsea lost to Arsenal 2-1 at the weekend‚ marking a ninth red card in all competitions for the Blues this season. Enzo Maresca was also shown a red card when he was manager. The likes of Marc Cucurella‚ Joao Pedro and Moises Caicedo have all been given sent off at one point or another‚ with Chelsea now having seen more than double the number of reds than any other team in England's top flight.
As line-ups go‚ it's shaping up to be one of Chelsea's strongest. First-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez keeps his place between the sticks‚ and Moises Caicedo provides genius in midfield. Marc Cucurella is a dogged presence on the left wing and - as in the fantasies of some Blues fans - Enzo Maresca remains in the dugout. But this XI is unlikely to ever be played‚ as it exists only as an example of one of the west London's side's greatest weaknesses.
KIERAN GILL: Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca hailed his 10 men for preventing Arsenal from pulling even further away at the top of the Premier League - but slammed the inconsistent refereeing that has been befalling the Blues of late. Maresca conceded Moises Caicedo deserved his straight red card after 38 minutes for an reckless foul on Mikel Merino‚ but he was confused why referee Anthony Taylor did not then dismiss Piero Hincapie for elbowing Trevoh Chalobah‚ who was left with a noticeably swollen cheek.
KIERAN GILL AND ISAAN KHAN AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea and Arsenal played out a feisty 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. The Blues had the better of the first half but their plans were thrown into chaos when Moises Caicedo was sent off for a reckless challenge on Mikel Merino. Trevoh Chalobah then put the hosts ahead as he nodded home Reece James' corner early in the second period.
Chelsea suffered a huge first half blow in their Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday as Moises Caicedo was sent off for a reckless challenge.
Joao Pedro's smart finish inside the penalty box was enough to earn Chelsea a comfortable 1-0 win over Tottenham in north London on Saturday - and the only regret Enzo Maresca's side will have is that the didn't pile on more misery for Spurs. A convincing performance‚ led by the tenacity and rigour of Moises Caicedo in midfield‚ saw Chelsea dismantle Thomas Frank's side with ease and leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the satisfaction of climbing level on points with their London rivals in the Premier League table. Meanwhile‚ it was a torrid afternoon for Tottenham‚ who were booed off the pitch by their own fans after a disjointed and lacklustre display on home soil.
