Chelsea travel to Aston Villa tonight in an FA Cup fourth round replay, knowing who they will face in the next stage of the competition should they win.
The Blues desperately need a positive result after they were thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool and 4-2 at home to Wolves.

However, the cup competitions have been kinder to Mauricio Pochettino's men this year, with the Blues set to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final later this month.
So if they can overcome Unai Emery's men, Chelsea would be only two wins away from another Wembley trip, and you can hear how they get on live on talkSPORT.
Who will Chelsea face in the FA Cup fifth round if they beat Aston Villa?
Should Chelsea manage to become just the second team to win at Villa Park this season, they will face Leeds in the next round.
Daniel Farke's men needed a replay to overcome Plymouth but ran out 4-1 winners after an initial 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
Leeds needed extra time to beat their fellow Championship side, but goals from Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and an own goal ensured they made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Ben Chilwell causes outrage with 'one of the worst things to say' after Chelsea's 4-2 home Premier League defeat to Wolves
The Whites are currently third in the Championship and are playing with a lot of confidence.
They would certainly fancy their chances against Pochettino's side should the Blues make it through.
However, that is far from guaranteed.
Aston Villa are currently in fourth, 15 points clear of Chelsea in the Premier League table.
Emery's men start this one as favourites, and given the way Chelsea are playing, Leeds are probably hoping Pochettino's side make it into the next round rather than Villa.
