After defeats in a record six straight domestic cup finals, Chelsea now turn their attention to their FA Cup fifth-round encounter versus Leeds United at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
Getting the better of Aston Villa 3-1 in the previous round of the FA Cup, but inconsistent with the performance in the English top flight this season, the Blues were defeated by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
On the other hand, Championship side Leeds have won 11 out of their last 12 games in all competitions, including the 4-1 win over Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup and a 3-1 league win against Leicester City at the weekend.
