FA Cup Fourth Round Replays:Can Chelsea win away from home?
Chelsea and Aston Villa couldn't secure a direct ticket to the FA Cup fifth round in their January 26 showdown at Stamford Bridge. The goalless draw was part of a brief winless stretch for Aston Villa, slipping out of the Premier League title conversation. However, they swiftly rebounded with a dominant 5-0 victory against Sheffield United, strengthening their Champions League credentials. Unai Emery's team netted four goals in the first half-hour, sealing a five-star performance with Alex Moreno's well-struck volley.
Chelsea has struggled on the road, facing defeat in six of their last seven away matches. Despite the recent form, historical records favor the Blues in FA Cup replays, with eight victories in their last nine. While Chelsea triumphed at Villa Park in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 Premier League campaigns, they have failed to score in their last three meetings with Aston Villa. Pochettino's team is at risk of a fourth consecutive goalless match against Aston Villa, a potential setback in their recent performances.
