Chelsea vs Man City will see a team desperate for a trophy to save their season pitched against a manager chasing a trophy so it can be added to his CV.

Rafa doesn't really have anything to lose as interim manager, even if he were to win the FA Cup, Europa League and qualify for the Champions league next season he would still be booed every week by the Chelsea faithful and if he lost well he's leaving anyway. But at least he could leave with a few extra medals around his neck and walk into another job off the back of major success.

Man City fans will be desperate to win a trophy to prove they haven't totally flopped this season and as we seen on Monday night, City are still very competitive this season and really deserved there derby win, they looked strong, positive, powerful, creative and together, they looked like a team, great form to head into this game in.

Chelsea however have not looked like a team all season, they are not building for the future, players don't know if they're coming, going or staying, managers don't know if they're coming, going or staying. Yes they have had their moments but they are stumbling through this season and at this moment in time Chelsea are a group of individuals playing only for themselves. Going into the semi final of the most prestigious domestic cup competition in the world, at Wembley, you need a group of players who are going to work their socks off for each other and put everything on the line, I don't believe that Chelsea are that group.

After a 4,000 mile round trip to Moscow and back to play Rubin Kazan on Thursday in the Europa league quarter final their preparation time is going to be minimal, let alone the jet lag. Man city will have had a full 6 days to get ready for the game and will be buzzing after the derby win on Monday.

Now based on all of this I can only see a Man City victory here, 6/4 with 888sport, However this is a one off game, it is the FA cup and as we have seen so many times over the years, anything can happen & whoever wins this semi will be massive favourites to lift the trophy as they will be playing either Millwall or Wigan.

Chelsea have some fantastic individual players, like hazard, Oscar & Ramires Who can score goals out of anything & of course don't bet against super Frank being their key man once again, so with this in mind I would expect Chelsea to at least score and they do have an unbelievable record in this competition & at Wembley in recent times. Chelsea haven't lost an FA Cup tie in 90 minutes since March 8th 2008 (Everton beat them on penalties in February 2011). As we seen against Man Utd in the last round even at 2-0 down they managed to pull it out the bag. With their attacking players going against the likes of Aguero, Tevez & Toure I expect there to be lots of goals, at least over 2.5 but I will be suggesting over 3.5 goals.
