Chelsea’s newly appointed interim manager Calum McFarlane believes the team retain enough belief to arrest their shocking slide in recent times, when they take on Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.

McFarlane was handed the reins on Wednesday after the Blues sacked Liam Rosenior following five straight losses without scoring a goal. Their league form has severely dented their chances of securing Champions League football next season, but success in the FA Cup would bring much needed relief amidst a topsy-turvy campaign.
