Morecambe have been on the wrong end of a win to nil in five of their last seven games
Chelsea have scored at least four goals nine times this season
Chelsea beat this team 4-0 in their previous third-round meeting
Chelsea far too strong
Chelsea have progressed from 35 of their last 36 FA Cup ties against lower-league opposition and they look unlikely to experience many issues when they host Morecambe.
The visitors are battling it out for their EFL status and currently sit just two points above the bottom of League Two.
A shock win in the last round of the cup came against a Bradford side who had been reduced to ten men and Derek Adams’ men will need a miracle to get anything out of this visit to the Blues.
Chelsea were riding high in the Premier League before a recent wobble has seen them fall to ten points behind league leaders Liverpool.
A demolition job against a lower league opponent may be just what the doctor ordered for Enzo Maresca’s side and it is hard to see anything but a win to nil for the home team.
Morecambe have lost and failed to score in five of their last seven games in all competitions and have lost by an aggregate score of 10-1 in their previous three matches against Premier League sides. Take Chelsea to win to nil.
The hosts have scored at least four goals nine times already this season and could add to that tally with a 4-0 success, the same scoreline when these teams met four years ago.
