FA Cup: Avenue of success for Chelsea?

12:27 , Jonathan Gorrie

Chelsea are another who aren't blessed with chances to win major trophies.

Should Mauricio Pochettino win his first in English football, however, then perhaps things can start to settle after a turbulent 18 months or so for the club.

Knocked out of the Carabao Cup and with the early season title challenge faltering, the FA Cup looks the best chance of a trophy for Tottenham once again.

FA Cup: Arsenal need improvement

11:43 , Jonathan Gorrie

The Premier League is obviously the holy grail for Arsenal this season but recent FA Cup performances have been lacking.

It is the trophy that helped give Mikel Arteta credit during his difficult spell in charge, having lifted it only a few months after joining the club.

Still, for a team who dominated the competition historically, they haven't got past the fourth round in any of the last three seasons.
