What are the chances of Chelsea’s array of super-talent taking to the pubs and clubs of Barnsley following their FA Cup quarter-final, liking what they see and putting in an en masse transfer request demanding moves to the plucky South Yorkshire strugglers in the summer?

We’re not sure but it seems as though some kind of midnight alien drag racing has been going on up the middle of the pitch. Odds on that Arsene will have a bit of a whinge about it if his boys don’t pick up maximum points on Sunday. Chances are he’ll have a grumble even if they do
