The FA Cup is back, and Chelsea will surely be looking to secure another win in England’s most famous domestic competition…
The Blues faced off in a tough game against Peterborough over the weekend, with new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte getting his first taste of FA Cup action – and his players duly delivered a good performance.
A 4-1 win was the end result, with the Blues running away with the game in the end, thanks to a couple of goals from Pedro alongside a tidy Willian finish and a Batshuayi goal.
As soon as the game ended, thoughts quickly turned to who the Blues might be facing in the next round – and with the initial run of fixtures now over, Antonio Conte finally has his answer.
It will be Brentford that Chelsea face in the next round, with Conte seeking to ensure that his team’s ball is in the hat for the next round of fixtures, too.
Unsurprisingly, given that Brentford are a Championship side, Chelsea are expected to win the game – and the Blues fans on Twitter are expectedly delighted about the draw as a result.
With that said, here are 6 of the best Chelsea fan reactions to drawing Brentford in the FA Cup…
