Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Barnsley & Chelsea face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was also an away game, at Sheffield United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Chelsea form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the final.

6-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Chelsea in their Premier League matches away. Chelsea love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Chelsea play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Sheffield United. Preceding that game was the away Premier League victory against Tottenham Hotspur with the score of 1-0.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Newcastle United in just four days.

The visiting Chelsea have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 12 games. 13 goals have been conceded by Chelsea in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Barnsley won one game, zero matches ended with a draw and Chelsea has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
