Antonio Conte chasing final chance to win silverware this season

Southampton stand in the way of Chelsea's final chance to land some silverware this season as the two teams meet in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday (kick-off 3pm).

Chelsea lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the FA Cup final last season - so Antonio Conte is still waiting for his first domestic cup success in England.

"A second final in a row would be great for our fans," said Conte.

"It's not my task to judge the season. I have to work and try to transfer my enthusiasm to the team.

"Sometimes I am good, sometimes I am not so good."

Southampton are staring down the barrel of relegation following another draw, this time against Leicester on Thursday.

Saints boss Mark Hughes thinks a break from the pressure cooker of the Premier League could work in his team's favour.

He said: "(Leicester) was a difficult game for us and we need to make sure that the physicality and athleticism is there against the top teams. We won't be making radical changes, but we need to use our resources in the best way we can.

"We are trying to build some momentum and an FA Cup semi-final could be good for us with that in mind."

It's harder for Southampton to win the FA Cup now than it would be at the third-round stage. Seriously. You could win this FA Cup by not playing a strong side, but now they've got to beat two top teams - and they're in the bottom three.

They could near-on be relegated by the time they're playing on Sunday. You have to go for it at Wembley, you might as well. If someone said you'll get relegated but win the FA Cup I think the fans would take that. It's not nice watching a team every week that don't win, so why not give it a go.

I think Southampton can bounce back if they go down, but I might be wrong.
