In a departure this season to make space for the mid-season player break last month, all FA Cup fifth matches are being played midweek, and they will all be decided on the night by extra-time or penalties if required.

The Blues have been handed the standout match, which pitches two of the Premier League's top four together.

When and where

The match takes place on Tuesday 3 March at 7.45pm at Stamford Bridge.

Press conference

In his pre-match media conference on Monday afternoon, Frank Lampard reported on what sort of Chelsea team could be expected:

‘A team that gives everything to try and get through to the next round against a very strong Liverpool team. I believe in the squad. Sometimes you have to make changes. Of course you go game by game, case by case on those.

‘The FA Cup is a huge competition,' he added. 'Evening games bring about a different atmosphere, and when you draw something like Liverpool it should be the game you all want to be involved in.’
