Beyond Chelsea continuing their FA Cup-defense at Everton, there is another all-English Premier League battle going on at Villa Park, with Gèrard Houllier's Aston Villa hosting Blackburn Rovers. That match is even at one, with Ciaran Clark's early conversion of a Barry Bannan corner being canceled out seven minutes later by Nikola Kalinic, on in the 10th minute for Roque Santa Cruz, converting a Michel Salgado ball in the 18th minute. Ten minutes before half, that match is still 1-1.
