THE PREDICTION
Middlesbrough have already eliminated Man Utd and Tottenham from this year’s FA Cup and now they look to add Chelsea to their list of giant scalps, booking their place at Wembley in the process. The Blues however, have more steel about them than the other two clubs, particularly from a defensive perspective and the Championship will struggle to break them down, even with home advantage in their favour. Chelsea also have the sort of strength-in-depth that Tottenham don’t, which will work in their favour as this contest goes on and Middlesbrough start to tire. Therefore, back Thomas Tuchel’s side to win out in 90 minutes and return to Wembley for the first time since the Carabao Cup final earlier in the year.
