FA Cup Match Preview : Chelsea vs Birmingham

After being defeated by Everton last weekend in the Premiership game, Chelsea is aiming to recover its reputation and morale by winning this game tonight. But Birmingham will not be letting the Blues to have an easy task over them. It may be the end of Chelsea’s manager Andre Villa Boas at Stamford Bridge, should the Blues are beaten again.

Chelsea will be without skipper John Terry due to a knee injury. Ashley Cole is also in doubt of being fielded tonight. Drogba and Salomon is away due to Africa Cup.

Birmingham is unbeaten in the last 13 games in all competitions. Their defence has been solid, which they conceded only 3 goals since the turn of the year. Birmingham’s manager is all out to create a shock here. The injury list include Marlon King, Nikola Zigic and Guirane N Daw, who will miss the match tonight.

Though Chelsea looks a bit shaky now, but it is unlikely they they will go down again especially when playing in their own backyard. I believe Chelsea will win the match tonight with only 1 goal margin.
