Chelsea will face Leeds United in FA Cup fifth round
Chelsea bounced back from defeats to Liverpool and Wolves in the Premier League by beating Aston Villa 3-1 in the FA Cup fifth round. As per Football. London, The Blues will now face Leeds United in the FA Cup fifth round on 28th February.
It was a much-needed win for Mauricio Pochettino, who came under fire after two embarrassing losses last week. A change was needed, and the Argentine manager delivered in the match against Villa.
This victory will serve as a prime example of why we need to continue to back the 51-year-old. Pochettino was much relieved after the win, and hopefully, the fans have seen some vision in his style of play from yesterday.
After the game, the players went to the away end to applaud the visiting fans who came all the way to watch the match. They certainly enjoyed every goal we scored.
Chelsea learn their fifth-round FA Cup opponent
The match with Leeds will be interesting because we will be seen as clear favourites in this game, and nothing will be expected other than a win. We came to Villa Park as the underdogs but surprised their home fans with this dominant display. It was the best performance of the season so far, and it came at their home ground, which has become a fortress for the Lions.
Leeds, who play in the Championship, are going to be the underdogs, but we can’t write them off because of what occurred in the first leg against Middlesbrough. We need to be set for anything. In the FA Cup fifth round, there won’t be any second legs, therefore losing to a Championship team will be quite a shame.
