In a highly anticipated FA Cup 1/16 finals clash, Chelsea is set to host Aston Villa.

The hosts are riding high on momentum after a spectacular 6-1 victory against Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup, bouncing back from a disappointing 1-0 loss in the first leg.

Chelsea’s fortress at Stamford Bridge remains intact, boasting an impressive nine-game unbeaten streak across all competitions on their home turf.

Aston Villa, after securing a goalless draw against Everton in the Premier League, advanced to this stage by defeating Middlesbrough 1-0 in the previous round of the FA Cup.

Villa has a recent history of success against Chelsea, winning their last two head-to-head matches (0-1 in September and 0-2 in April).

While Aston Villa faces several injuries, the squad is well-rested compared to the hosts.

Given Chelsea’s home form and Villa’s recent success in head-to-head encounters, a draw is conceivable, potentially leading to a replay.
