Chelsea take on the visitors Peterborough in the round 64 match of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Sunday, January 8th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea started the year with 0-2 away defeat at Tottenham. That loss ended 13-match winning streak of Antonio Conte’s team. Upcoming match will be the first for the Blues in the FA Cup this season. We can expect to see numerous bench players on the field as exhausting boxing day took a lot of recourse from their key players while the opponents don’t look like the team that should cause much troubles to the league leaders. We should also note that the team played 11 games at home and recorded 10 wins. The team is currently on seven-match winning streak in games at own turf.

Peterborough United represent third tier of English football, League One. The team is involved into a battle for a place in top-six which gives a chance for promotion. The visiting side is currently eighth in the standings, only four points behind sixth place. The team took part in two rounds, eliminating Chesham, 2-1, and Notts County, 2-2, 2-0.
