Chelsea Form

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League after a solid first half to the season. The London outfit have lost just two of their last 15 in all competitions and scored 38 goals.

The Blues won eight matches in a row from late November to mid-December, including three home victories. Chelsea’s winning streak ended with a 0-0 draw at Everton and defeats to Fulham 2-1 and Ipswich 2-0.

Maresca’s side led Crystal Palace 1-0 on Saturday before eventually drawing 1-1 at Selhurst Park. Cole Palmer put the Blues ahead after just 14 minutes and Chelsea conceded with eight minutes left.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Forward Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended and won’t feature on Saturday.

Defensive duo Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are unavailable due to injury.

Morecambe Form

Morecambe booked their place in the FA Cup third round after beating Worthing 2-0 and Bradford City 1-0. The Shrimps league form has been less convincing and they are inside the League Two relegation zone.

Derek Adams’ side lost four games in a row without scoring before defeating Carlisle 1-0. They couldn’t build winning momentum and lost the next game 1-0 against Salford.

The Lancashire side responded with a 2-0 home win against Tranmere. Yann Sonog’o and Jamie Stott struck in the final 20 minutes to secure all three points.

Morecambe Injuries & Team News

Morecambe have no injuries or suspensions.

Forward Ben Tollitt is likely to start after scoring six and assisting two goals this season.

Verdict

Chelsea v Morecambe

Chelsea are likely to get through to round four with little trouble against a goal-shy Morecambe side. A home win to nil in the FA Cup looks like a solid selection here.
