FA Cup fourth round draw: Chelsea ball number, confirmed teams, how to watch, fixture dates

Chelsea will learn their FA Cup fourth round opponents on Monday evening when the draw takes place.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side advanced to the fourth round following a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Preston North End at Stamford Bridge.

Three goals in the space of 11 minutes from Armando Broja, Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling sent Chelsea on their way to knocking out the Championship side in the capital.

Enzo Fernandez added a fourth in the closing stages to round off a much-improved second half display after a below-par first 45 minutes, which was criticised by Pochettino post-match.

The likes of Manchester City, Tottenham and Aston Villa booked their place in the fourth round, while Liverpool knocked out Arsenal at the Emirates to put Arsenal on course for another trophy-less season.
