The last two winners of the Premier League title about to go head-to-head in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, one of the oldest association football competitions in the world.

Can Chelsea pull themselves out of this slump which has led them to lose three of their last four games? We’re about to find out, ladies and gentlemen.

Let’s do this!

Chelsea starting lineup (3-4-3):
Caballero | Azpilicueta (c), Christensen, Rudiger | Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Alonso | Willian, Morata, Hazard

Substitutes from: Eduardo, Cahill, Zappacosta, Emerson, Fabregas, Pedro, Giroud
