- Goals from the South Americans settled a heated encounter at the bridge. Willian struck the post twice in the first half before eventually putting the ball in the net in the second half from a right-footed strike. Chelsea looked like coming out on top after putting up a disciplined display that neared perfection only for a wayward Christiensen pass at the back that gifted Messi his first goal against the blues in his ninth match. The replay is scheduled for the 14th of March and it's going to be a tough one for the blues as they need perfection to qualify to the next round of the competition.

- The final of the Carabao Cup competition will be played on Sunday and both Gardiola and Wenger will be looking to add another medal to their cabinet. Before City's elimination from the FA Cup, everyone was tipping high flying City for the quadruple because of their incredible performances home and abroad. Gardiola set a new record in his first season at the etihad, his first time going trophyless in a campaign. He's destined to win the league this time after a comfortable lead at the top of the table. On the other hand, his counterpart, Wenger won the FA Cup last season after defeating 10-man Chelsea. This season has brought different tides for both managers and a cup win will add confidence to the rest of the campaign. Wenger, who has faced a lot of criticism lately needs to defy all adds and win the carabao Cup to boost his team's confidence and push for a top 4 finish and win the hearts of the gunner faithfuls.
