Watford goalkeeper Scott Loach is keen to impress the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham in their FA Cup tie with Chelsea.

This is Loach's chance to put himself firmly in the shop window and he speaks in fittingly romantic terms about Sunday's third round tie.

"The FA Cup always has a tale every year," says Loach.

"We are looking to make that our tale this year. It's a win-win situation. If we play our hearts out, you never know what can happen. The lads are absolutely buzzing that we are getting to play them.

"Chelsea are one of the best teams in the world. To play against Chelsea is a way to be put on the world stage. If I can do my business against them, I'll be happy.

"I'm going to get more to do against the likes of Frank Lampard and Nicolas Anelka. I'm hoping for a busy day. And I'm hoping for a successful one. But, if it was 0-0 and I didn't touch the ball once, I'd be happy!"

He senses that this could be the perfect time to go to Stamford Bridge and cause a stir.

"It's our cup final and there's always a chance in football," says Loach.

"Chelsea haven't been doing too great, not picking up the results that they want recently.

"I think the fans have been getting at them a little bit. Maybe it's a good time to play them. I'm sure afterwards they'll say it was a great game."
