Lots of anticipation among both sets of supporters.The world’s most expensive keeper has lost his place to 38-year-old Willy Caballero and boss Lampard is ready to recommend the Blues sign a new No 1.Not long to go now but a note of when everything is due to kick-off:But, no bother, both sides are out undergoing their warm-ups here.Stronger teams than some had anticipated but this is Chelsea v Liverpool, neither boss wants to pass up a chance to reach an FA Cup quarter-final.And here is the side ready to face Newcastle at the Hawthorns.The Championship leaders are at home and brimming with confidence.The big news for Slaven Bilic is that he is able to bring former Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs back into the fold and he does, a move which sees Dara O'Shea shift across to centre back.Much like Sheffield United, Newcastle will be keen to avoid an upset to lower-league opposition and so Steve Bruce has gone tried and tested from Premier League games.Striker flop Joelinton - that seems harsh but he has been poor since his £40m summer move - needs a big game as he leads the line.It is very much as you were for Reading following the weekend win over Barnsley.That same line-up have won the chance to take on Sheffield United from the start here.Chris Wilder not taking Reading lightly as he names a strong line-up for tonight's game.Dean Henderson, pushing to be England's No 1 this summer, remains between the sticks while Basham, Egan and O'Connell are solidified as the first choice back three.Opportunities for Luke Freeman and Ben Osborn tonight for the Blades, though.The Newcastle striker is in an interesting position tonight having played for both clubs.But that is unlikely to compromise him this evening should he get the nod to start. Fabinho turns it over, and Willian fires from the top of the box that hits Willian and goes in strangely. It's a decent finish into the bottom corner from the forward. Advantage Newcastle.Kepa Arrizabalaga has been in great form but at the other end it has been an error from Adrian that has gifted Chelsea the lead.Willian was the benefactor and he is the difference maker so far.Big round of applause for the Scottish teenager and he has been the pick of the bunch for me in this first half.Almost a second for Chris Wilder's side as Luke Freeman delivers a corner to the near post and an onrushing John Egan connects... only to send his effort just over the bar.The Premier League side not letting up at the Madejski.He walked off but there was no way Mateo Kovacic was going to even wait until half-time.Mason Mount comes on and that is an incredibly youthful midfield for Chelsea with 18-year-old Billy Gilmour already out there.No messing around from Lampard either as Mason Mount gets stripped on the bench.Kovacic grimacing and perhaps he has twisted or jarred his knee.
Pedro is racing clear down the left and in a bid to prevent the counter, the Liverpool substitute just hacks him down.We've all been there when beaten by pace, in fairness. The Reds.A team used to winning by multiple goals, Liverpool has not won comfortably in any of its last six games, losing three of them, and it struggled mightily against Frank Lampard's team on Tuesday. 1:51 pm ET,at Liverpool FC has released the following away ticket details for the Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday March 3.
