Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel speaks to the media

Good morning and welcome to live coverage of Thomas Tuchel’s pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s clash against Premier League top-four hopefuls Arsenal at Stamford Bridge tomorrow evening.

The Blues head into the contest, having secured their place in the FA Cup final. Tuchel’s side defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 at Wembley on Sunday to book their place in the showpiece game of the world’s oldest club competition for the third year in succession. Liverpool will be their opponents next month.

Before that, the Premier League is Chelsea’s priority. Tuchel’s side sits third ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Gunners are in a strong position to finish as the closest challengers to Manchester City and Liverpool, who are battling it out for the top-flight title once more.

We will get Tuchel’s pre-match thoughts shortly, in addition to the latest team news. Ben Chilwell (knee) and Callum Hudson-Odoi (achilles) missed the weekend win and may not be ready to return – that is for the Chelsea head coach to confirm, however, when he faces the media at Cobham. Live updates will appear below.
