Barnsley vs Chelsea – FA Cup: Live score, lineups and updates

Barnsley vs Chelsea LIVE: Thomas Tuchel looks to continue impressive start to life at Stamford Bridge by guiding Blues into FA Cup quarter-finals as he prepares for potential banana skin at Oakwell

Thomas Tuchel will be feeling pretty pleased with his start to life at Chelsea after three wins out of four – but he’ll be keen to ensure the Blues do a professional job against Barnsley in the FA Cup.

Chelsea travel to Oakwell to face the Championship outfit hoping to book a spot in the quarter-finals, and while the London side will be heavy favourites to progress, Barnsley will be right up for this game and should be eyeing a seismic cupset. 

Tuchel is expected to make a handful of changes for this game to keep his squad fit for an important run-in as he bids to make the top four. Tammy Abraham should get an opportunity to impress, while the likes of Billy Gilmour and Callum Hudson-Odoi will also hope to get some minutes under their belts.
