Chelsea v Sheffield Wednesday (Stamford Bridge, 1800 GMT, BBC One)

They've already made the final of the Carabao Cup, and now Chelsea will be looking to progress in English football's other key cup competition as they welcome Sheffield Wednesday to Stamford Bridge.

It took penalties to separate the Blues and Tottenham on Thursday, although Maurizio Sarri will be eager to ensure that they get this result wrapped up in 90 minutes against a team in the division below.

Wednesday's away form has been a bit hit-and-miss throughout their Championship campaign - although they'll still be up for this game backed by a strong away following.

This fixture is also notable for the expected debut of Chelsea's new striker in Gonzalo Higuain. He completed his loan switch from AC Milan in the week, although missed the registration deadline for that clash with Spurs.

They'll be wanting to give Higuain minutes to get him up to speed in this Chelsea side, and an FA Cup game against lower opposition is the perfect environment in which to do just that.

You'd expect him to be a handful for the Owls' defence as a whole, but more specifically I'm particularly intrigued to see if a bit of a battle emerges between the Argentinian striker and Wednesday's Sam Hutchinson.

Wednesday's defensive midfielder recently returned to the squad following a spell on the sidelines through injury. He's only managed nine Championship appearances, although has been a regular feature in the side since a managerial change.
