Sutton's predictions: Chelsea v Port Vale
[BBC] Ever since Liam Rosenior was appointed in January, there has always been an element of Chelsea fans who don't think Rosenior is the right man to take them forward - but losing their past four games in a row in all competitions has certainly not helped his cause. Yes, you can say they have been beaten by European champions Paris St-Germain in two of those matches, but I still expected them to get a result at home to Newcastle and then Everton absolutely blew them away. If Rosenior loses this tie too, then the alarm bells would really be ringing at Stamford Bridge.
It is a game where he cannot afford to slip up, but I also feel like he needs a performance to go with the win everyone is expecting. Wycombe beat Port Vale 4-0 on Saturday so Chelsea surely have to at least match that scoreline before they focus on the league again, with two more crucial home games coming up against Manchester City and Manchester United. Vale are toiling at the bottom of League One and so far on this cup run I have wrongly predicted they will lose to Fleetwood, Bristol City and Sunderland.
The good news for Vale fans and their manager Jon Brady is that I am going to predict they will lose this time too. Their aim will be to stay in the game as long as they can and try to nick a goal, but the circumstances mean Rosenior will probably pick a strong team and Chelsea will have too much quality for them.
