Birmingham might harm Chelsea!

The English FA Cup replay between Championship side, Birmingham City FC and Premier League campaigners, Chelsea will be played at the St. Andrews later tonight. The first meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stamford Bridge last month. That match was played during the era of Andre Villas Boas. Roberto Di Matteo will have to lead his players victory of any kind tonight. Whether via penalties or otherwise. A defeat for Chelsea will further increasing the confusion and the bad atmosphere at the club owing to the departure of AVB. Birmingham City is being handled by Chris Hutton, a former Newcastle manger with Premier League experience. A second half equaliser by Daniel Sturridge saved Chelsea from being beaten at home about 3 weeks ago. Didier Drogba,Frank Lampard,John Terry, Florent Malouda and Ashley Cole were among the senior players that didn't say goodbye to their former Portuguese manager after he was fired last Sunday. His assistant, Roberto Di Matteo is also an unpopular figure according to reports from London. The fans will hope the instability in the camp won't lead to their ouster from the FA Cup. The Blues are currently fifth in the Premier League and are trailing Napoli of Italy by three goals to one in the UEFA Champions League.
