Chelsea are on the brink of another potential crisis as they aim to rectify recent Premier League struggles in the FA Cup, where they face Aston Villa in a fourth-round replay scheduled for Wednesday.
The teams meet again at Villa Park following a goalless draw in West London. The winner of this midweek clash will secure a home tie against either Leeds United or Plymouth Argyle in the next round. Chelsea had reinforced their defense at Stamford Bridge before the previous encounter with Aston Villa, but neither side managed to secure a decisive victory.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, had faced three winless matches before their FA Cup fixture, slipping slightly out of the Premier League title race. However, they bolstered their Champions League aspirations with a convincing 5-0 win against Sheffield United, showcasing their attacking prowess.
Despite their recent struggles, Villa still have a chance to close the gap on league leaders with their manager’s successful track record in cup competitions. By defeating Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, Villa achieved their best result in the tournament in several years.
Chelsea, on the other hand, faced a disappointing defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, extending their poor away form. Manager Mauricio Pochettino acknowledged the challenges ahead and the uncertainty surrounding his position at the club.
