Azpilicueta says season rests on nine days

Chelsea are set to face Manchester City in the final of the Carabao Cup on Sunday and Azpilicueta says winning a trophy is eveything to Chelsea - players and fans. Their hopes of FA Cup glory were quashed by City's rivals United as Solsjkaer's team beat Sarri's 2-0 on Monday night to knock them out of the running.

Chelsea can recover with a vital run of fixtures coming up and Cesar Azpilicueta understands the importance of captalising on every chance afforded to his side.

"Hopefully we can have a good nine days. It's the whole season."

"We know that a trophy in the middle is everything, to bring the fans back to Wembley with the spirit to get the Cup."
