The Blues advanced from the third round of the competition on Saturday as we overcame Championship side Preston North End 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Armando Broja opened the scoring before quickfire goals from Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling. Enzo Fernandez then rounded off the victory late on with a strike from close range.

That victory has seen us rewarded with a home tie against fellow Premier League side Aston Villa in the next stage.

Fourth-round ties will be scheduled across the weekend of Saturday 27 January. Fixture and ticket information will follow in due course.
