'Energy, high level of commitment, real team, close to the coach': Tuchel shares what he expects from Palace

Thomas Tuchel was speaking to the media ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final clash against Crystal Palace. He shared his thoughts on what he expects from Crystal Palace.

"Energy, high level of commitment. Real team, close to the coach, calming the situation down. A fantastic job, created a fantastic team full of individual team. Very dangerous counter-attacking team. Very tough to play against.

"We need to be very well prepared to control the counter-attacks, individual quality, dribbling. They can create a certain atmosphere.

Palace have been in decent form this season but they will be without star man Conor Gallagher as their appeal to allow him to play against his parent club was denied by Chelsea.
