Big advantage for us is that Chelsea will hopefully still be in the top four hunt.
They have a real tough run of fixtures. Barca midweek, away to Arsenal then Barca again. Want them to get a result against Barca midweek - if they get turned over they'll give up for the return fixture. And wouldn't mind them beating Arsenal either, could do with them keeping up the fight for fourth until we play them.
They then have a home clash against QPR, who will be fighting for their lives and a midweek clash with Newcastle, who'll also give them a hell of a game. Then the final a few days later.
That's a horrible build up for them. They'll show up to Wembley absolutely knackered, and could still be in the hunt for fourth meaning their minds might not fully be on the final.
On the other hand, this one match is our season now. We'll be like a caged animal waiting to be unleashed. Chelsea won't know what hits them.
