In his latest column, Paul Merson discusses Chelsea's big week, the Premier League title race and Spurs vs Man City in the FA Cup; watch the Carabao Cup semi-finals - Chelsea vs Middlesbrough and Fulham vs Liverpool - live on Sky Sports on Tuesday and Wednesday at 8pm
This is a massive week in Chelsea's season, which could fall apart in four days.
If they win their Carabao Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough then beat Aston Villa, they're knocking out a big team from the FA Cup as well. Then when you're a few points off sixth place, all of a sudden it doesn't look so bad.
But losing to Middlesbrough would be a major blow. Not going through over two legs against a Championship team? In one-off games you never know, you can lose one-off games. But over two games…
Chelsea might still squeeze in the top six, you never know. But what an opportunity to get to the Carabao Cup final playing against a Championship team in the semi-final. It's the first trophy to be won, a lot of teams would love to be there and are wishing they were there.
