Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse is looking to get revenge on Chelsea this weekend when the pair meet in the second of the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley, according to the Telegraph.
Saints lost to the Blues 3-2 last weekend after being 2-0 up with 20 minutes to go. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s clash, Ward-Prowse is determined for his side to gain some revenge on Antonio Conte’s men.
The FA Cup has come as a welcome distraction for the Saints, with the team having really struggled in the Premier League as they currently sit four points away from 17th.
Ward-Prowse has been at the club for 15 years now and it would certainly come as a big blow if the club are to be relegated to the Championship ahead of next season.
He has spoken of his desire to gain some revenge on Chelsea this weekend in the FA Cup:
It is a strange sort of feeling. But as players we see it as a great opportunity to get to another final and it might be a nice distraction from the league.
We played Chelsea the other day and got cruelly beaten, so a sort of revenge factor might be there for us. Regardless of the situation, we want to win this game.
