Chelsea vs Liverpool
Chelsea suffered from one of the biggest shocks in FA cup history, surrendering a 2-0 lead against a League one side to lose 4-2 on home soil. This shocking result simply emphasises the importance of this fixture for Jose Mourinho’s men. A team of champions must have the ability to bounce back following various setbacks that inevitably occur throughout the season. The likes of John Terry and Diego Costa, who weren’t involved against Bradford City, will be relishing to put things right and will inspire the likes of Eden Hazard and Oscar to show what they can do. Finally, Liverpool have started expressing their style, which saw them almost lift the title last season. Therefore, Chelsea must approach this game with care, and be wary of Liverpool’s speed on the counter attack. However, I expect Chelsea’s experience to seem them through, with them winning in extra time.

Sheffield United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs will be hoping lightening doesn’t strike twice when they take on Sheffield United on Wednesday night. The North Londoners were stunned 2-1 at home to Leicester in the FA Cup on Saturday but Pocchetino has said he is confident his side have learnt from their mistakes as they take a one goal advantage into the second leg. Pocchetino is likely to recall several first team regulars back to the starting line up for this game as the Lillywhites look to book their Capital One Cup final spot for the third time in the past 9 years. The Blades, who will undoubtedly be backed by a very vocal home support, will be aiming to cause yet another cup upset but I feel the Premier League team have too much quality for their less fancied opponents.
