Chelsea will face either Millwall and Bradford in the next round of the FA Cup, depending on the replay between the two sides after an entertaining 3-3 draw at The Den on Saturday.
After a gradual but comfortable 3-0 win over Watford in Sunday’s FA Cup third round tie, the blues are drawn at home again, and will hope for the revival of a certain London rivalry.
Ricardo Fuller’s 83rd minute equaliser earned Millwall a replay on Saturday after falling behind twice to the League One side, who will be hopeful of an upset in the replay at Valley Parade in the next few weeks.
A visit from Millwall would make for an interesting cup tie; there’s no love lost between the two teams, and Ian Holloway’s men might fancy their chances of a giant killing, with the Blues winning 0 of the 6 FA Cup ties between the two teams – although the most recent fixture dates back to 1995.
Chelsea are yet to meet Bradford in an FA Cup fixture, however have beaten the League One side in half of the 34 games played between the two, including a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge when the two last met, back in December 2000 in a Premier League fixture.
The rest of the FA Cup draw is as follows:
Southampton or Ipswich v Crystal Palace
Cambridge United v Manchester United
Blackburn v Swansea
Chelsea v Millwall or Bradford
Derby v Scunthorpe or Chesterfield
Preston v Sheffield United
Birmingham City v West Brom
Aston Villa v Bournemouth
Cardiff v Reading
AFC Wimbledon or Liverpool v Bolton
Burnley or Tottenham v Leicester
Brighton v Arsenal
Rochdale v Stoke
Sunderland v Fulham or Wolves
Doncaster or Bristol City v Everton or West Ham
Manchester City v Middlesbrough
Ties will be played on the 24th/25th of January.
