Doyle "confident" ahead of Chelsea replay

Birmingham City keeper Colin Doyle has said that the team are confident ahead of their FA Cup replay fixture with Chelsea.

Birmingham drew 1-1 with the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and Doyle kept out a Juan Mata penalty effort.

"We will be confident bringing them back to our place," Doyle said. "The pitch will probably suit us rather than them, so hopefully we can do it.

"They are not doing too well and we were confident coming into the game.

"It was quite unlucky we didn't win it, but we are just pleased we have got the result and are taking them back to our place."

The winner of the replay will face Leicester City in the sixth round.
