Match Preview:

The FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium between Chelsea and Southampton threatens to be too one sided and Chelsea should ease into the English curtain closer.

Chelsea have recently beaten Southampton in the league in what turned out to be thrilling five goal match that the Blues eventually won 3-2

Southampton have relegation on their minds coming into this match but are sure to give a good performance, the key is keeping Chelsea at bay for as long as possible. The Saints had a league game on Thursday night and were able to get a point from Leicester in their game that finished 0-0. Southampton are now 4 points from safety and have played a game more than 17^th placed Swansea. Their fate looks almost sealed.
