Watford manager Brendan Rodgers is desperate to put one over John Terry and Frank Lampard as he prepares for an emotional reunion.
Rodgers could not believe his luck after his team were handed a lucrative tie against his former employers.
The Irish coach spent four memorable years at Chelsea, where he began as youth team manager and then took over the reserves.
Terry and Lampard wasted no time getting in touch with him when the draw was made and have been winding him up about the game ever since.
But despite his strong affinity with the Chelsea players and back-room staff, Rodgers will do everything in his power to send the Blues out.

Rodgers said: "It is a strange one for me but I had a feeling we would play them. I got messages from JT, Frank and allmy other friends there. It is ironic because it was only a few months ago I was in there fighting with them and now I am fighting against them.
"During my time there Chelsea took a lot of criticism, but I have memories that I will never forget, both personal and professional. Having worked there I know what a great club it is.
"They have the capacity to win every tournament so it will be a difficult game for us. They have one of the best squads in the world and nobody knows that more than me."
