Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea have reached the final of the English FA Cup and are opponents of Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool in mid-May.

The Blues defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 (0-0) in the semifinals in front of 76,238 spectators at London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday and have the chance of their ninth success in the oldest football competition in the world.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek (65th minute) and Mason Mount (76th) shot Chelsea into the final.

With the DFB trio of Antonio Rüdiger, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner in the starting line-up, the Tuchel team didn't really get into the game in the first 45 minutes.

Only a yellow card after a swallow by Havertz caused a stir in the Palace penalty area.

After the break, a header from Cheikhou Kouyaté landed just wide of the Chelsea goal (61').

Then came Chelsea: A pass from Havertz threw Loftus-Cheek into the net to take the lead (65').

Mount made the decision after a pass from Werner (76th).

Romelu Lukaku with a post shot (90th) and Rüdiger (90th + 1) missed the third goal.

On May 14, Tuchel has the chance to win his fourth title with Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.

Opponents Liverpool FC advanced to the final on Saturday after beating Manchester City 3-2.

After the triumph in the European premier class last season, Tuchel also won the World Club Championship and the Supercup.
