Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has dubbed this season as "strange".
Pochettino was speaking ahead of their FA Cup quarterfinal against Leicester City.
He said: "It's a strange year. Sometimes the expectation is high and sometimes low. Sometimes rain and sometimes sunny!
"For us to beat Leicester would be massive for us. Another opportunity to play at Wembley. Between you and me, some players did not sleep the day before the final [of the Carabao Cup] and that is only through experience, and living these situations, you can be better.
"The opportunity to be in Europe through the FA Cup would be massive. But we see Leicester are doing very well in the Championship and the coach is doing fantastic. It will be very tough game. Their manager is doing a fantastic job and now it will be tough because the final period you need to be solid."
