Chelsea eye progression to fifth round as they take on Sheffield Wednesday at home in 2018/19 FA Cup
Kick-off : 6:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea played really well and progressed to the Carabao Cup final on Thursday against Tottenham Hotspur. They must be boosted with their current form as they take part in another competition.
The Blues know the importance of FA Cup as they are title holders and defending their title which they won against Manchester United.
Chelsea defeated Nottingham Forest in the this round to reach here and now have a staff opponent in Sheffield Wednesday awaiting. The Blues will look to bring their A game into play.
On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday reached the fourth round by defeating Luton Town in the third round replay match after the 0-0 draw in the first game.
They now face a tough Chelsea side and will have to play out of their skins if they eye progression further.
Sheffield Wednesday have a good record against Chelsea and Chelsea will look to improve upon the fact.
Team news and possible line-ups
Joshua Onomah is doubtful for Sheffield Wednesday for the weekend game.
As for The Blues, Gonzalo Higuain will make his debut for Chelsea tomorrow.
Sheffield Wednesday XI : Westwood, Palmer, Lees, Thorniley, Fox, Hutchinson, Reach, Matias, Bannan, Boyd, Fletcher.
Chelsea XI : Caballero, Zappacosta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, E. Ampadu, M. Kovacic, Willian, G. Higuain, Hudson-Odoi.
Prediction
It should be a good game as both sides will give their all but in the end I expect Chelsea to make the home advantage count and register a win to enter the fifth round. They might win 2-0. The goalscorers might be Gonzalo Higuain and Calum Hudson-Odoi.
