David Luiz wants three Premier League wins before FA Cup semi-finals

The Blues slipped up against Crystal Palace last time out as second-placed Tottenham beat Burnley to keep the title race alive.
And Luiz reckons Chelsea will have to win all of their league games before they face Spurs on April 22 to focus their attention on winning the FA Cup.
"I want to win all [three] of those games," he told the London Evening Standard.
"If we can do well in the league before the semi-final, we will have an opportunity to concentrate on the FA Cup.
"That would be good. We can rest, there will be one less bit of pressure, that's normal."
