Thomas Tuchel’s team seems very lucky to meet the Championship division team, where Chelsea will travel to Luton headquarters. Chelsea should not underestimate their opponents, considering that Chelsea almost lost at their own headquarters, Stamford Bridge when they hosted Plymouth Argyle. So this is a challenge for Tuchel as an elite team from the highest caste must maintain the team’s pride in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
As lucky as Chelsea, Manchester City will also travel to the headquarters of Peterborough at the Weston Homes stadium. Where The Citizen just crushed the Championship division leader Fulham at the Etihad stadium with a landslide score of 4-1. Facing Peterborough, who is currently sitting in the middle of the Championship division, is not a tough task for the maestro Pep Guardiola, where Manchester City’s game is always consistent and difficult for any team to beat.
And it could be, Peterborough will be the butt of Manchester City at home. And the team that will benefit the most in this fifth round is Frank Lampard’s team, where Everton will host a fifth-caste team in the English league or Indonesian National League at Goodison Park.
