Wembley has become a poisoned chalice for Chelsea's latest generation of stars, losing five of their last six finals at what used to be an old stomping ground... and Mason Mount could suffer his SIXTH defeat there in FA Cup final against Liverpool

For the first decade after its unveiling, the new Wembley Stadium was somewhat of a stomping ground for Chelsea.

After beating Manchester United in the very first FA Cup final there in 2007, the west London club followed it up by winning four of their next five finals at the national arena. Another three FA Cups came in 2009, 2010 and 2012, while they also clinched the League Cup in 2015. The only black mark was a 2008 extra-time defeat against Spurs in the latter competition.

There was an inevitability about them flocking to the famous arch, an inevitability that if they reached the final more often than not they would leave with silverware.
