Merson: Chelsea now only playing for FA Cup and Champions League

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes Chelsea are only playing for the FA Cup and Champions League this season.

The former Arsenal forward predicts the Blues will keep their FA Cup campaign alive by claiming an easy 4-0 victory against Championship club MK Dons in the fourth round of the cup on Sunday as they have nothing in the Premier League left to play for.

He writes: "What are Chelsea playing for this season? They can't get in the top four, really.

"I know John Terry says they can, but they have to catch Spurs, who have a chance of winning the league. So if they can catch Spurs they have a chance of winning the league themselves! For me, the FA Cup is what they are playing for along with the Champions League."
