Chelsea may have little chance of winning the Premier League title but it's a different story in cup competitions. They are already in the Carabao Cup final and in the knock-out stages of the Europa League. They already hold the FA Cup and hope to progress further as they host Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round. Chelsea haven't lost in the FA Cup since losing the final to Arsenal in May 2017 and that's their only defeat in their last 14 FA Cup ties. The Londoners beat Nottingham Forest in the third round and face Championship opposition again in this round. Not since 2015 have they lost a game in this competition on home territory.

Sheffield Wednesday are still waiting for Steve Bruce to take over as their new manager. They are 16th in the Championship but look safe from relegation and unlikely to get into the play-offs. They needed a replay to get past League One Luton Town in the third round and have only scored one goal in their last four FA Cup ties. Their away win at Luton was the first time they have won an FA Cup tie on their travels since 2014. Away form in general isn't impressive with only two wins in their last ten matches. Go for Chelsea to win this and be ahead at both half and full time.
