The fourth round draw for the FA Cup has now taken place, and we now know that we will be facing either Southend or Brentford away, with the game to be played over the weekend of the 27th and 28th of January.
The two teams finished their original game 2-2 at Southend, and will have a replay at Brentford's Griffin Park in the coming week or two. Fellow west Londoners Brentford currently sit in 4th place in League One, with Southend sitting in a comfortable 6th place in League Two.
Chelsea have an away league tie to Reading on Tuesday the 29th of January, so I assume our match will be played on the Saturday, allowing us a two day break before the Reading clash. We also have a second leg game in the Capital One Cup against Swansea on the 23rd of January.
Both Jon Obi Mikel and Victor Moses will be away with their national team, Nigeria, for this tie, but I would assume that Rafa will play some squad players in this, and rest a few big name starters.
