Chelsea and Southampton fans would prefer top four or safety over FA Cup glory
SunSport poll shows only 40 per cent of Blues' supporters and 22 per cent of Saints' followers favour a Wembley triumph over league position
CHELSEA and Southampton fans thinks their clubs have bigger priorities than winning the FA Cup.
An exclusive SunSport poll has revealed as much.
Chelsea supporters, asked if they would prefer an FA Cup victory or a top finish, plumped for the latter.
Only 40 per cent backed the Wembley-winning option, with 60 per cent going for a definite Champions League spot via the Premier League.
The Blues are currently fifth in the table, five points shy of fourth-placed Tottenham with four games to go.
So the Europa League looms for Antonio Conte's team who have failed to defend their Prem title with the guts and gusto expected after last season's brilliant displays.
