FA Cup final offers path to glory or consolation

LONDON: Saturday's FA Cup final gives Everton the chance to cap an impressive season with rare silverware while for Chelsea it offers little more than a minor consolation in another frustrating campaign.

Chelsea will want a rousing send-off for manager Guus Hiddink but having lost so painfully to Barcelona in the Champions League semis and finishing third in the league, it will not be easy to motivate themselves.

They bounced back from the Barcelona disappointment to hammer Arsenal 4-1 but Everton are a different prospect.
