Evening. The last time Chelsea appointed a new manager in January, they win the Champions League four months later. Liam Rosenior would love to emulate Thomas Tuchel, but for now his aim is to create as few headlines as possible.

The only way Chelsea can steal tomorrow’s back pages is if they are beaten by Charlton, a team who sit 19th in the Championship. That’s highly unlikely given the resources of each club, and tonight should be a nice soft landing for Rosenior ahead of tougher tasks in the Premier and Champions League.

Then again, as any Macclesfield supporter still capable of speech will tell you, a lot of things should happen in the FA Cup.

Kick off 8pm
