But with a calm disposition, it is easy to see why Chelsea and City are being touted as the favourites. The Blues barely got through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, seeing off Villa in a penalty shoot-out, albeit with a team made up of “fringe” players. Tuchel will surely field a changed line-up from the one he used in the midweek Cup game. It is highly unlikely they will be called upon to face Chelsea — but it would be interesting if they were. All the same, it could turn out to be a rather feisty affair at the Bridge today.
