Graham Potter has admitted Chelsea's FA Cup third round draw against Manchester City is as "tough" a game as they could possibly get.
The Blues were knocked out of the Carabao Cup before the World Cup break by Man City, with the Premier League champions proving too strong in a 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium. On January 8, City host Chelsea yet again but in the FA Cup, which will come three days after the Blues host the Citizens in the Premier League.
This means Chelsea will play Man City at least four times this season – with the possibility of playing each other in the Champions League as well in later rounds. Potter knows how difficult of a test his team have on their hands but is excited by the challenge.
