FA Cup holders Chelsea to face Sheffield Wednesday or Luton in fourth round at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea have been drawn to face Sheffield Wednesday or Luton Town in the FA Cup fourth round later this month.

The tie will take place at Stamford Bridge between 25 and 28 January, and will see FA Cup holders Chelsea attempt to continue their run in England's oldest competition as Italian coach Maurizio Sarri attempts to win silverware in his first season in charge of the Blues.

Chelsea booked their place in the FA Cup fourth round with a comfortable 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, a game which saw striker Alvaro Morata break his goal-drought and score twice in 10 minutes to secure victory.

Chelsea won the FA Cup last season under then-manager Antonio Conte following a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Wembley.

Eden Hazard scored the only goal of the game, from the penalty spot, which sealed Chelsea's eighth FA Cup win in their history.

The FA Cup fourth round ties will be the last stage of the competition in which replays will occur this season.
