Erin Cuthbert claims Chelsea's players are "driven" to give Emma Hayes "the send-off she deserves" as they pursue silverware on four fronts.

The manager's trophy-laden 12-year spell in charge of the Blues will conclude this summer when she takes charge of the United States Women's team.

Chelsea play Arsenal — the only English side to have won a quadruple, back in 2007 when Hayes was on their coaching staff — in the Women's Super League at Stamford Bridge on Friday.

Hayes' side sit top of the pile, level on points with second-placed Manchester City and three clear of the Gunners.

They also face Ajax in the Champions League quarter-finals and Arsenal in the Conti Cup final before the end of the month, while last weekend saw the Blues book an FA Cup semi-final showdown against Manchester United.

Midfielder Cuthbert, a Chelsea player since 2016, said: "We've done everything right until now but we have the chance to either go on and be great or win nothing. Emma has reminded us of that.

"We really want to do it for Emma — I certainly do. It’s well and good talking about a potential quadruple but we're at the point where we can still win nothing.

"So the main message is less talk, more action and to make sure when the big moments come we're ready.

"Emma's done a lot for me. She's done so much for the club. I will be grateful for her and the way she's driven the women's game in general as well.

"Whatever happens this season, Emma's legacy will not be defined in the space of three months.

"She'll want to go out on a high and I think the players are all driven to give Emma the send-off she deserves.

"I'd love nothing more than to celebrate with her at the end of the season [with] multiple trophies.

"But that's only done with a process and giving 100% every day, working hard and giving extra, especially when we're thin.

"This is the moment where we need to go up another gear because the games are coming thick and fast."
