Thursday F.A. Cup action: Sean Miller has a trio of picks and plays for Barnsley FC vs Chelsea FC

Chelsea looks to join other Premier League heavyweights in F.A. Cup quarter-final draw

If Chelsea can win today against Championship side Barnsley, the F.A. Cup quarter finals will see seven Premier League sides ready to battle.

And not just any seven teams: five of the top seven Premier League teams would be in the draw, which takes place before the Chelsea contest.

This really has become a closed club for the most part.

Chelsea has a huge squad, and a lot of players that are eager to impress new head coach Thomas Tuchel.

I expect nothing more than an emphatic victory today for the Blues.
