Chelsea will begin life without Liam Rosenior with a crucial FA Cup semi-final against Leeds this Sunday.
Rosenior was axed on Wednesday following his side losing five straight Premier League games without scoring a goal.
Results have seen them drop down the table, finding themselves at risk of potentially missing out on European football altogether.
It means winning the FA Cup could be huge for them, with a place in the Europa League awarded to the team who lift the trophy.
Relying on that would be a last resort for Chelsea though, while for Leeds, it would represent a perfect end to the season.
Daniel Farke’s side have almost done enough to stay in the top-flight, with a place in the FA Cup final now looking possible too.

This FA Cup semi-final will take place on Sunday, April 26.

Chelsea vs Leeds: Team news
Missing Cole Palmer would be a massive blow for Chelsea at Wembley, and their talisman is going to be a doubt.
Palmer missed the Blues’ loss the Brighton on Tuesday with hamstring tightness, but he could be fit to feature.
Meanwhile, Joao Pedro is expected to return after missing the last couple of matches with a thigh problem.
Estevao will miss the rest of the season, with Reece James, Jamie Gittens, Filip Jorgensen and Levi Colwill all still out.
As for Leeds, they have a largely clean bill of health.
Only Dan James and Anton Stach are likely to miss the semi-final.
Chelsea vs Leeds: What has been said?
Chelsea cut ties with Rosenior on Wednesday and Calum McFarlane will be in charge at Wembley.
The Blues statement read: “On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, we would like to place on record our gratitude to Liam and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the Club.
“Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following his appointment midway through the season.
“This has not been a decision the Club has taken lightly, however recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season. Everyone at Chelsea FC wishes Liam every success in the future.
“Calum McFarlane will take charge of the team as Interim Head Coach until the end of the season with support from existing Club backroom staff, as we strive to achieve European qualification and progress in the FA Cup.
“As the Club works to bring stability to the Head Coach position, we will undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment.”
