Chelsea news: Man Utd and Tottenham fans won’t like what Vinnie Jones has said

Chelsea face Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final in under two weeks time at Wembley.

If the Blues beat Mark Hughes’ struggling side, they will face either Manchester United or Tottenham on May 19.

But Jones believes it is almost a given that his former side Chelsea will be lifting the trophy.

Film star Jones was discussing who will replace Antonio Conte as Chelsea manager on talkSPORT this morning.

He says winning the FA Cup would be the perfect way for Conte to exit the club.

“It’s got to be a big name (to replace Conte), (Roman) Abramovich doesn’t mess around does he?,” Jones said.

“I said a couple of weeks ago I think they’ve got the cup final coming up, well you never know with cup finals, but that should be a trophy there.

“And then thanks for everything you’ve done and walk out the door.

“It sort of seems that, I don’t know if it’s been tapped up, to be honest.

“I think they need to get it out of the way and move on. I think it would be the best way for everybody.”

Chelsea drew 1-1 with West Ham yesterday to further shorten their chances of finishing in the Premier League top four.
