How are Chelsea coming into this match?
The blue club, managed by the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, has had a rather irregular balance in this first half of the season since in the Premier League, it is not even in the top 5 and therefore is not stepping on European competition positions since it is in 9th position in the overall table registering only 31 points after 21 rounds, product of 9 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats. However, in the FA Cup they will have their second test of fire since in their debut match, the London team faced Preston North End where they would get their pass to the fourth round with a 4-0 victory. But, the Chelsea should not be confident as due to their irregular pace in these last months, the visitors could give them a bitter surprise at Stamford Bridge. The Blues need a win if they are to keep up their pace in the cup competition. In their most recent match, Chelsea scored an emphatic 6-1 win over Middlesbrough to advance to the EFL Cup final.
