FA Cup: Tuchel tips Chelsea to win but …

On Saturday, Chelsea will host Plymouth at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup.

Chelsea have been tipped to win the match, and their manager Thomas Tuchel also believes the game should be an easy win for the Blues as a loss would come as a surprise.

Tuchel, however, added that Chelsea still needs to take the game seriously to win.

The Blues manager, in a pre-match statement, said, “Of course, it would be a big surprise but it wouldn’t be the first surprise in 150 years of the FA Cup. We better be realistic about it that we are the favourites and what we demand of ourselves in this match.

“At the same time, we respect the game and anything can happen. That’s the beauty of this game. That’s why everybody is in love with football. So we better respect it and be serious. Of course, it is in our hands and hopefully, it stays in our hands. From there we need to prove it. We can’t hide the fact that we are huge favourites.”
