Chelsea ace Pulisic excited about FA Cup debut

Chelsea ace Christian Pulisic is excited ahead of making his FA Cup debut.

Pulisic has enjoyed his first Christmas in England despite that minor injury setback, buoyed by having family over from the States to spend it with. Now he will get another fresh experience to enjoy, the third round of the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest.

He said, "Of course I know about the FA Cup, it's another competition, another chance for a trophy and we want to win it.

"We're going to give everything and I'm really excited for it."

Pulisic admits they need to get back to winning ways.

"We have had troubles with putting the game to bed this year. It's a mixture of mentality and technical training. We need to do a bit more to keep going, attack, create chances and have that killer instinct.

"It's about being clinical, experience and knowing how to manage a game. We're missing that a bit, I can do better with that as well, playing the right pass or finding the right shot."
