Chelsea will be aiming to book a date with Arsenal in next month's FA Cup Final when they lock horns with Manchester United in tonight's semi-final at Wembley, kick-off 6:00pm.
Arsenal booked their place in the final, which takes place on August 1, last night with a 2-0 victory over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting a brace.
Now, Frank Lampard, the Chelsea head coach, will be looking to repeat Mikel Arteta's trick and set up an all-London final.
The Blues will travel to Wembley with a sense of confidence in their sails once again after getting back to winning ways in midweek, defeating already relegated Norwich City 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a first-half goal from Olivier Giroud.
But with all due respect to the Canaries, this evening's tussle against Manchester United is going to be a lot harder task for Lampard's troops, as they look to secure their passage to their third FA Cup final in four seasons.
But United, too, will fancy their chances of progressing to one of the most famous matches in world football as well, with the the opportunity of securing a double still alive for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as his team are still alive and kicking in this season's Uefa Europa League.
After edging past Norwich in midweek, Lampard was hopeful that he could have been able to welcome French midfielder N'Golo Kante back into the fold for tonight's clash but he has been deemed unfit once again, as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
"N'Golo Kante won't be fit for the match, he's still not right. So he's out," Lampard said during the week.
"Other than that we have a few people with a few little niggles that I'll monitor over the next 24 hours or so, and then we'll be ready to go."
In normal circumstances, Kante's absence would have opened the door for Scottish midfielder Billy Gilmour to fill the void left vacant by the former Leicester City midfielder, but he, too, is also currently sidelined through injury.
Gilmour faces up to four months on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery.
With Kante and Gilmour both ruled out, it is likely that Italian midfielder Jorginho will keep his place in the starting line-up and take up the role of protecting the back-four.
Elsewhere, goalkeeper Willy Caballero, who has played in three of the Blues' four FA Cup fixtures this season, will be pushing for a start between the sticks, whilst the likes of Andreas Christensen, Ross Barkley and Tammy Abraham will also be pushing for starting berths.
But following the win over Norwich, Lampard has no fresh injury concerns to sweat over, meaning he has plenty of options to choose from to make up his 20-man squad.
Full Chelsea squad: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero; Cesar Azpilicueta, Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri; Jorginho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount; Willian, Pedro, Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi; Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi and Faustino Anjorin.
