Barnsley vs Chelsea preview:

The final game of the round will be played at the Oakwell Stadium, where Barnsley will be playing hosts to Chelsea, with a place in the quarter-finals up for grabs.

Barnsley entered this season’s FA Cup in the third, where they beat Tranmere Rovers 2-0 before getting the better of fellow Championship outfit Norwich City by a 1-0 margin last time out. Apart from their exploits in the cup competition, though, the Tykes are without a win in 2021, having lost three and drawn two of their outings in the Championship so far this year.

Chelsea on the other hand, seem to be on a resurgent run under the tutelage of Thomas Tuchel Since the German manager took charge at Stamford Bridge, the Blues have drawn one and won three games, which has seen them rise up to fifth in the Premier League table. In the FA Cup, the west Londoners have beaten Morecambe and Luton Town in the last two rounds, with the latter being their last game under Frank Lampard.

Thursday’s FA Cup clash will be the second time that Barnsley will be facing Chelsea this season, with the Blues cruising to a 6-0 win in the Carabao Cup back in September.
