All that could change if they turn things around in the face of adversity to win the FA Cup against Liverpool.

The Blues lost to the Reds at Wembley when they met for the Carabao Cup final earlier in the season, so they will hope that they have the last laugh this time around.

Liverpool themselves are still with a chance to win the quadruple after reaching the final of the FA Cup, still in with a chance to win the league and looking forward to the Champions League final.
