Tonight Aston Villa and Chelsea will reveal the next ticket winner for the FA Cup ⅛-finals. The Lions are welcoming the Blues from London in their second FA Cup match-up after the previous one that took place in Stamford Bridge ended with a final score of 0:0.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa sits in the 4th position in the Premier League with a score of 14 wins, 4 draws, and 5 defeats. After the loss to Newcastle (1:3), the Lions visited Sheffield United and won the away game by 0:5, meaning that they are in a great state of mind at the moment.
Chelsea on the other hand is the 11th-placed team in the Premier League with a score of 9 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses. After the 3 consecutive victories in the league, unfortunately, Chelsea lost their previous 2 EPL games against Liverpool (4:1) and the Wolves (2:4).
This points out that Aston Villa seems sharper at the moment, so it’s going to be very exciting to find out who’s going to end up celebrating at Villa Park.
