The Owls will face the Premier League side should they win at Luton in their third-round replay, but some Wednesday fans aren’t too optimistic.
Sheffield Wednesday could find themselves up against one of the most successful English football teams of recent times should they make it to the FA Cup fourth round.
The Owls will travel to Chelsea if they can beat Luton Town in their FA Cup third-round replay, which takes place at Kenilworth Road next Tuesday following a goalless draw in the first tie.
Given the Blues are one of the top sides in the Premier League, boasting five English top-flight titles, six FA Cups, three League Cups and two European trophies since the turn of the century, it’s a chance to test yourself against the best and potentially spring an iconic upset.
However, the Hatters could very well deprive Wednesday of the chance to head to Stamford Bridge, hence why there is likely to be a lot of anxiety when both sides take to the pitch in a week’s time.
Here is some of the reaction on Twitter to when the draw was made on Monday night:
The game between Chelsea and the winner of Luton against Wednesday is set to take place on the weekend of January 26-27.
Should the Owls advance from the replay, it would set up their first meeting with Chelsea since their relegation from the Premier League in 2000.
