Hazard not right for Chelsea captaincy

Tottenham came back twice from behind with goals from Kane and Dele Alli at Wembley, but Chelsea eventually reached the final with a 4-2 win on Saturday. But the Italian insists he would rather lose a game than have such player in his squad. I don't think there's an easy answer to it.

"Now we have to find the right substitutes for these players and then work to put these players at the same level", he said.

"We have six games to go".

Hazard and Costa started Saturday's FA Cup win over Tottenham from the bench, with Michy Batshuayi and Willian starting in their stead.

However, Davies does not have the same attacking thrust as the 26-year-old in his game, and it is likely that Rose will take over as first choice left-back as soon as he is fit enough to play.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has rebuffed claims from Blues midfielder Cesc Fabregas that Eden Hazard needs to be more selfish in order to reach similar levels to five-time Ballon d'Or victor Lionel Messi.

The only defender to have scored more Premier League goals, excluding penalties, than Gary Cahill is team-mate and Chelsea captain John Terry. The players, the club, but also the fans, that want to try to win after this season that I think is incredible for us, above all after a bad season like last season.

You reach the final in the FA Cup, a great competition.

Wenger's side should be confident of three points, with Leicester having not won a league game against Arsenal since 1994.

Before Tottenham's FA Cup semifinal with Chelsea, both clubs paid respect to the late Ugo Ehiogu.

They face a thorny trip to Everton this weekend and have now gone 11 league games without a clean sheet - their longest run since 1996 - but the finishing line is just five games away. It is not hard to pinpoint the team's problem - it is the league's lowest goal scorers, having managed just 23 all season. Chelsea's lead has been slashed to four points by Tottenham with six games remaining but Conte is still in contention for a double in his first season in charge.
