A look ahead to tonight's FA Cup Third Round replay at Griffin Park

A mouth-watering home tie to Chelsea will be the reward for whoever prevails through tonight's replay. League Two outfit Southend came from 2-0 down, to force themselves a replay against Uwe Rosler's men.
Rosler signed a two-year extension with the Bees last week, who are buzzing off an unbeaten streak that has accumulated to eight games in all competitions. However, the last win at Griffin park was a second round replay in the same cup at home to Bradford City.
Southend boss Paul Sturrock will be looking for a reaction from the weekend's 3-0 thumping by Exeter that left the Shrimpers clutching at a play-off place by mere goal difference. Sturrock will hope to have striker Britt Assombalonga back from an ankle injury, who has found the net 12 times this season so far.
