Chelsea No2 Zola on FA Cup draw: Forest very dangerous

Chelsea assistant manager Gianfraco Zola says there'll be no underestimating FA Cup rivals Nottingham Forest.

Forest are currently fifth in the Championship and they visited the Bridge last season in the Carabao Cup, with the Blues winning 5-1.

Zola, who was part of Gullit's team which beat Middlesbrough to win the competition in '97, was in attendance as the draw was made, and the Italian provided his reaction to the Blues being paired with Forest.

After drawing them for the third round, the Italian said: "I saw them play against Leeds away and they are a really dangerous side.

"It's a good draw. We play at home and we want to go through so it will be a cracking match.
