The fourth round of the FA Cup beckons and as a result, Aston Villa make the trip to Stamford Bridge to face a Chelsea side that are starting to find their footing under Mauricio Pochettino. Tune in as Seb and Louis Beneventi of The Chelsea Echo Podcast discuss Chelsea's season since our last clash in September and look ahead to Friday's match in West London.

WHAT DO WE DISCUSS?

• It's fair to say that Chelsea have had a very up and down season thus far from their usually high standards, but what has Louis made of things?
• What has Louis made of Mauricio Pochettino's time at Chelsea thus far and is he the right man for the job going forward?
• Looking ahead to the rest of the campaign for Chelsea, what are the expectations from within the fan base?
• Chelsea have recently been linked with Villa's Jhon Durán; how is this rumour viewed from the Chelsea side of things?
• Are Chelsea expected to dip into the January transfer window before it shuts?
• Well, Aston Villa haven't been in a fourth round FA Cup tie since 2016 and Chelsea are freshly off a convincing win over Middlesbrough, which advances the West London outfit to the finals of the Carabao Cup; how are the lads feeling ahead of Friday's clash at Stamford Bridge?
• What sort of Chelsea side should we expect to see on Friday?
• All of this and so much more! Enjoy the podcast and Up The Villa!
