Both managers will be looking to add a bit of Christmas cheer in their respective camps, with tough battles at either end of the table coming up, this could prove to be the ultimate test for either side. Gus Poyet has said that a cup win against Chelsea could kick start their campaign:
"I need to take these games seriously, In the last round against Southampton, we played well and we went on to win against Man City. Let's see if we can repeat that and do well and then beat Norwich. Hopefully it's not a crazy game like before, hopefully it's normal. And if we score three we will win the game." (BBC Sport)
