Thomas Tuchel said he would lead an angry Chelsea into Saturday’s FA Cup final after defeat by Arsenal dented their EPL Top-4 hopes. The Blues boss admitted preparations for the match against Leicester at Wembley would be made easier by his team’s frustrations following Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat. 

Missed opportunity 

“We all feel that anger on ourselves on the missed opportunity and the performance that night against Arsenal,” he said on Friday. “So it’s a good thing, in that it’s easy to prepare. Now the challenge is to focus, focus only on this match, focus on us and play on the edge.”
