Rosler is the man is charge of the B’s of course and he will see this as a chance to really show what he can do as a manager. The League One side are massive underdogs as they are taking on the Champions of Europe, but they shouldn’t have any fear coming into this one.
Brentford are going well in the league and are a team full of confidence right now. Chelsea however, are struggling at the moment and Rafael Benitez comes into this one under a lot of pressure.
If he puts out a strong side though and the Blues perform anywhere near their best, then this will be a comfortable afternoon at Griffin Park for them.
Then, arguably the pick of Sunday’s fixtures see Leeds United host Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road.
There is always something quite special about the home of Leeds in a big cup game and you can be sure that the fans will make an electric atmosphere.
Neil Warnock must get his men up for this one and make sure they don’t let Tottenham settle into the game. If they can do that and take their chances, then the Yorkshire side have a chance here.
Spurs are a confident team right now though that are playing some cracking football, so can be confident of making the journey north and putting their name in the hat for the fifth round.
The squad will have to cope with the special atmosphere, but Andre Villas-Boas is aware of that and can pick a number of his senior men for this one, as well as giving some youngsters a chance.
Finally, Oldham Athletic can write their name in the FA Cup history books when they take on Liverpool.
The Reds were runners-up in this competition last season and will be doing all they can to go one better this time out. This is one of only two trophies that they are challenging for this campaign, so it must be taken seriously.
Brendan Rodgers can tinker with his starting eleven somewhat and might leave the likes of Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard on the bench, only using them if he needs to.
Oldham’s FA Cup run has been a welcome distraction from the relegation battle they find themselves in and any sort of result, or even good performance here would give them the confidence to go on a decent run in League One.
It should be a fitting way to round of the weekend’s action and does have the makings of a famous cup tie as a side in the third tier of English football host one of the most successful teams in this competition.
