But Burnley will not be going to West London to make up the numbers.
Only Charlton, in penalties in the Carling Cup in October three years ago, and Barcelona, in the Champions League in February 2006, have come away from the Bridge with the spoils. in that time.

And the Blues are unbeaten in the league at home since Arsenal won a London derby in February 2004 – a record run of 85 games.

However, while Luiz Felipe Scolari has expressed his intent in trying to win all four competitions on offer to his side this season, fielding a strong team in beating Portsmouth 4-0 at Fratton Park last week, Coyle insists his men will go with no fear: "We were hoping for a home draw, and if you don't get that, you're looking for a tie that's winnable, and we've probably drawn the most difficult tie you could have got.

"But what an opportunity to go and mix, not just with international players, but players from the world stage.

"For a player to go and pit your wits against Chelsea, what a night!
"We won't be going there to shut up shop, we'll go to try and win a game of football.

"They have got absolute quality, but it will be 11 v 11, and who knows?
"We went to Rangers and won with St Johnstone, and if they have an off night and we're at our very best, anything can happen.

"We'll be positive, and try and win the game."

The game will be played on Wednesday, November 12th, with Chelsea at Blackburn Rovers on Sunday the 9th, and Burnley have been allocated 6,100 tickets, priced at £20 adults, £15 students and £10 senior citizens.

They will go on priority sale for a two-week period from Monday to season ticket holders, foundation members and share holders.
