Morata stunned Bournemouth in last year’s quarter-final

The visitors will need a dramatic upturn in form if they are to avenge that result.Eddie Howe’s men have suffered six defeats in their last seven games, while Chelsea have only been beaten twice in all competition under Maurizio Sarri and carry some good form into the clash.4

What the managers are saying

Gianfranco Zola (Chelsea assistant):“We know Bournemouth is a dangerous team. They’ve gone far, even from last year. They keep improving.“A very good coach (Eddie Howe) and a good team. We know the game will have a lot of difficulties.“With all respect we know our potential, we’re getting better. We’ve had our bad spell, but we’re coming strong from that.”4

Zola was full of praise for Bournemouth

Eddie Howe (Bournemouth):“It’s a great game for us, we’re very excited to be in the competition and trying to get to the semi-final.“It’s well documented that we’ve never been in a major cup semi-final before, so what greater incentive can we have? We’re very excited to try and make that happen.“We have a massive hurdle to overcome, one I really want my players and staff to relish and try to rise to.”
