Eden Hazard, David Luiz and Chelsea could be on the verge of a huge let down of a season, or perhaps a very memorable one. The Blues face Liverpool on Sunday in a game they need to have any chance of winning the Premier League title. Then on Wednesday they face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final second leg – with the chance for a double still hanging in the balance.
And of course, we’re not too far away from a handful of Chelsea players making their impact in the World Cup this June.
