Chelsea manager Antonio Conte believes winning the FA Cup will represent a successful season for the club.
The Blues, who face Southampton in Sunday's semi-final, have endured a difficult campaign after storming to the Premier League title last time out.
In a recent interview he said, "To play in a wonderful way and to win in an easy way but as you know football is difficult,".
"It is a semi-final against a team that, for me, I am very surprised to see them in this position in the table.
"They are fighting to avoid relegation and despite this, I think they have good players, talented players.
"Don't forget, only one week ago, we were losing 2-0 after 60 minutes. I think that the last game showed it will be very important to approach this right, for our future in this competition."
