ROBERTO Di Matteo is aiming to put Chelsea's defeat to Newcastle behind him by lifting the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Blues were sunk by two Papiss Cisse stunners on Wednesday and must now lift themselves for their trip to Wembley at the weekend.
Cisse’s double has made a top-four Premier League finish look an extremely tall order and interim boss Di Matteo thinks a Cup final clash with Liverpool could be the perfect tonic.
He said: “We’ve been pushing the players hard for the past two months and they’ve done well. We have a good squad.
“They've given everything, the effort is there and we have asked them to push and push and push.
“We will regroup, pick them up and we have another big game on Saturday, and we're going to go again.
“We are going to look forward to the FA Cup Final, it's a great event and the motivation is going to be there.”
