Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek celebrates scoring against Crystal PalaceLONDON - Thomas Tuchel praised Chelsea's focus and composure as they beat Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday to earn an FA Cup final showdown with quadruple chasers Liverpool.
It will be Chelsea's fifth FA Cup final in the last six years as they look to make amends for losing in the showpiece against Arsenal and Leicester in 2020 and 2021 respectively. With three consortiums in the running to buy Chelsea following the British government's sanctions on Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich after the invasion of Ukraine, the Blues could have a new owner by the time they return to Wembley.
"We will be well prepared because we play against one of the best teams in the world. They are in outstanding form. It will be another hard fight," he said. Palace boss Patrick Vieira added:"In the first half we frustrated them a lot. Against these teams it is about taking your chances. We didn't and they did."Faced with a Palace side that were tigerish in the tackle and well-drilled in their low defensive block, Chelsea found it hard to impose themselves.
Chelsea had more possession in the second half, although Kouyate went close again, heading narrowly wide from Eberechi Eze's corner.
