Town manager Jim Magilton says he will be happy to play either Southend or Chelsea in the 4th round of the FA Cup.
Southend are playing Chelsea tonight in a replay of their 3rd round tie, which was drawn 1-1. The winner of tonight's replay between the two sides will play Town at their home, either Southend's Roots Hall or Chelsea's Stamford Bridge but Jim doesn't mind where Town go in the next round.
Jim: "Southend achieved a fantastic result to draw the first game at Stamford Bridge, they will relish tonight's game and if they produce another surprise we will have a derby to look forward to.
"And the prospect of facing Chelsea has a great attraction to us as well.
"As a manager it will be great to pit my wits against Luiz Felipe Scolari and his world class team.
"And for our players it will give them a taste of what they would experience every week in the Premier League and give an indication of where we are as a team."
