Chelsea take on Ipswich in the fourth round of the FA Cup after having had to go through the ignominy of a replay against Southend in the previous round.

Chelsea find themselves in danger of a humiliating exit from the FA Cup when they take on League One side Southend United in their third round replay on Wednesday.
Chelsea's recent form has increased the pressure on manager Luiz Felipe Scolari with the Blues managing just three wins in their last 10 matches. Chelsea were made to fight for all the points in their three victories, with Bolton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion and CFR Cluj putting up a brave fight until the final whistle.
Chelsea 1 - 1 Southend United
31' Salomon Kalou Goal 1 - 0
90' 1 - 1 Goal Peter Clarke
League One minnows Southend stunned Chelsea with a stoppage-time equaliser to earn a deserved 1-1 draw and a third-round replay.
Salomon Kalou's first-half goal looked to have earned Chelsea a place in the next round until Peter Clarke headed an equaliser from close range in the 90th minute.
Chelsea had dominated the game but paid for a host of squandered chances by allowing an unmarked Clarke to beat Carlo Cudicini with a close-range header.
It was just reward for the Shrimpers who valiantly kept out Chelsea's wave of attacks in a pulsating second half.
But Chelsea's need for a first-class finisher was further underlined after an afternoon when they failed to kill off their lowly opponents.
Everton vs Chelsea
Everton clash against Chelsea in Monday night live Premier league action in a confident mood having clinched a 1-0 win against Manchester City last week. The Toffees won last week at Man City thanks to a lone goal from Tim Cahill. The win also allowed them to recover from a shock 3-2 loss to Aston Villa during the previous week. In that game Joleon Lescott looked to have grabbed a point for his side when he made it 2-2 in the last minute, but Ashley Young slotted in a stunning stoppage-time goal to leave Everton gasping.
Manager David Moyes admitted that the loss rankled, but added that the win at Man City made up for it and more importantly clinched three points for the Goodison park outfit that sees them occupy the 7th spot on the league table with 25 points from 17 games. Although several players including striker Louis Saha continue to be sidelined with injury, Everton have not dropped points and have registered consistent wins after a mixed start to the season.
Chelsea 2 - 1 CFR Cluj-Napoca
40' Salomon Kalou Goal 1 - 0
55' 1 - 1 Goal Yssouf Kone
71' Didier Drogba Goal 2 - 1
Didier Drogba climbed off the substitute's bench to send Chelsea into the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 2-1 victory over CFR Cluj.
The Ivory Coast international, a 65th minute substitute for opening scorer Salomon Kalou, poked the ball under CFR Cluj goalkeeper Nuno Claro for the winner just six minutes later.
It was Drogba's second goal of the season and his first appearance at Stamford Bridge since he collected a three-match domestic ban for throwing a coin into the crowd during their Carling Cup defeat by Burnley.
But Drogba's efforts were not enough for Chelsea to finish top of Group A after Roma defeated Bordeaux.
Bolton 0 - 2 Chelsea
Bolton are in better form than their opponents going into the match on Saturday with the Trotters collecting 12 points from their last 15. In contrast, Chelsea have dropped five points in their last two matches and suffered their second league defeat of the season last weekend with Arsenal emerging 2-1 winners.

Goalkeeper Brian Jensen was the Burnley hero as Chelsea crashed out of the Carling Cup on penalties at Stamford Bridge 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Jensen saved from captain Wayne Bridge and John Mikel Obi to put the Coca-Cola Championship side into the quarter-finals.
Returning striker Didier Drogba put Chelsea in front in the 27th minute but Burnley substitute Ade Akinbiyi equalised with 20 minutes remaining.
Roma 3 - 1 Chelsea

75' 3 - 1 Goal John Terry
80' Red Card Deco
Two costly errors by John Mikel Obi sent 10-man Chelsea crashing to shock defeat to Serie A strugglers Roma.
The hosts stormed into a three-goal lead inside 58 minutes thanks to Christian Panucci and two goals from Mirko Vucinic.
Chelsea reduced the deficit through captain John Terry in the 75th minute but it was not enough to save them from a humiliating defeat, their worst in Europe since their 5-1 extra-time thrashing by Barcelona in 2000.
Their miserable night ended in more woe with Deco dismissed for a second bookable offence in the 80th minute.
CFR Cluj-Napoca 0 - 0 Chelsea
Chelsea escaped a distinctly uncomfortable night in Transylvania with a goaless draw - but harbouring fresh concerns over the fitness of Didier Drogba.
The Ivory Coast striker was carried off on a stretcher with an apparent knee injury early in the second half.
Despite Frank Lampard's best efforts, Chelsea could not break down the resilient CFR Cluj rearguard - and the battling Romanian double winners were good value for their draw.
Stoke 0 - 2 Chelsea

Chelsea coach Luiz Filipe Scolari is beginning to make his mark at Stamford Bridge as he guided his side to the top of the Barclays Premier League - for a few hours at least - with a 2-0 win at Stoke.
However it was his predecessor Avram Grant's final signing who made the difference at the Britannia Stadium.

Frank Lampard fires home from the spot
Chelsea picked up where Manchester City left off at the weekend by rattling four past a hapless, injury-hit Pompey.
Frank Lampard scored twice - the first from the penalty spot - while Florent Malouda and the eye-catching Salomon Kalou joined in the fun.
