Blackburn boss Mark Hughes will be a Chelsea fan again on Sunday - hoping his old club can make it easier for his new one to get into Europe.
"We'll be waiting to see the result of the cup final, that could make it even more difficult for us," Hughes told The Mirror.
Rovers went through via the InterToto this season and that unfashionable method has suddenly caught on as Hughes added: "There are a lot of clubs who looked on it with disdain now realise its worth."
