Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge to face champions Chelsea in the tie of the quarter-final round next month, a clash that is sure to attract plenty of interest from betting fans and neutrals alike.

The protagonists of the 2005 final are set to do battle again with the Blues seeking a third win in the competition in the last four years.

Chelsea landed the odds with a 3-2 victory after extra-time in Cardiff the last time these met in the tournament and betting fans who have done their research will know that the Londoners have the upperhand in recent clashes at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have not lost at home in all competitions since Bruno Cheyrou's winner in January 2004 and in six matches since, the Reds have failed to even score.

A bet on a Chelsea clean sheet could be worth a look at, especially given the fact Liverpool have started to struggle in front of goal.

Arsene Wenger takes his young guns to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers, who could be worth a bet having enjoyed a degree of success in recent years over the Gunners.

The sides drew 1-1 earlier this season, while Rovers rewarded supporters who had had a bet last season by upsetting the odds to dump Arsenal out of the FA Cup thanks to a 1-0 home win in a replay.

Manchester City could be worth a look at in the betting to end a run of six successive defeats against Tottenham Hotspur, all in the league, given their current woes, while Everton travel to Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Chelsea are currently the leaders in the outright betting, ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, but odds on a plethora of markets, including quarter-final match odds, will open up nearer the time.
