Christian Pulisic is pleased with the way Chelsea have moved on from their FA Cup final defeat to Leicester.

The Blues can still seal a top-four finish in the Premier League and the Champions League trophy this season and Pulisic is feeling optimistic.

“It is a lot of games but we’re used to it, we’ve been doing this for months now,” he said. “Obviously it was a disappointing result in the FA Cup but I’m really happy we could put things in our own hands in the Premier League. So today we go out and we need a good win and we move on from there. We have it all left to play for this season and hopefully we can do well.”

Thomas Tuchel hopes to use Sunday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa to gain a boost for the upcoming Champions League final.

Chelsea are looking to secure three points to finish in the top four before they take on Manchester City in the European decider.

Instead of resting his players, Tuchel hopes they can build some momentum with a strong performance on Sunday.

“Yes, in the sense that we want them [Chelsea’s best players] in the final and don’t want any injuries,” he said.

“You can also overthink this. Who to leave out? Who needs a rest? You don’t know if they can pick up that top momentum again. That can be a problem. So if you ask me, I prefer to keep going until the very end.

“I think doing that is an ­advantage going into the ­Champions League final. You have fought constantly and you don’t want to lose the rhythm.”
