Chelsea return to FA Cup action on Saturday as they make the trip north to Middlesbrough with the aim of booking a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Thomas Tuchel will be looking for his side to go one better than the past two seasons, where they finished runners up both times at Wembley.
Standing in the German coach ’s way is Chris Wilder and his side that have caused more than their fair share of problems for sides in this competition so far. Boro managed to beat Mansfield in the third round to set up a tie with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
They managed to force extra-time and later penalties, where they won 8-7 to progress to the next round. If that wasn’t enough to satisfy the Championship club, another giant killing was in the offing as they faced Tottenham.
