How crucial is success in the FA Cup to Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino?

With Chelsea nowhere near the title race and having failed to qualify for any European cup competitions at the end of last season, success in domestic cups is the only hope that Blues fans have this season. There has been little for them to celebrate, as pressure mounts on Mauricio Pochettino - but winning the FA Cup or the League Cup could change this in an instant.

However, it is of the utmost importance that Chelsea win one of these two cups. They have an excellent opportunity to win the League Cup, having reached the final, but they will face an indomitable Liverpool outfit at Wembley.

Should they falter in that game, it would leave just the FA Cup. They are expected to beat Leeds, being in a division higher than the West Yorkshire club, but the pressure will all be on Pochettino's men.
