Head to Head

This is the first competitive meeting between Chelsea and Morecambe.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea will look to use this match to build some confidence after managing just one win in their last seven matches in all competitions.

That victory came against West Ham at home, a 3-0 victory that was followed by a surprising 3-1 defeat away to Arsenal on Boxing Day. Chelsea were then held to a 1-1 draw at home to an impressive Aston Villa side.

Last time out, they were outclassed by Manchester City, losing 3-1 at home to Pep Guardiola’s side. That leaves them happy to return to the FA Cup, where they have won each of their last 12 ties at Stamford Bridge to nil.

Morecambe Form

Morecambe sit in the playoff places in League Two thanks in large part to their home form. They have won each of their last four home matches.

Those victories came against Barrow, Harrogate, Leyton Orient and Grimsby last time out, though their away form hasn’t been quite as impressive. On the road, they have one win in their last four and two defeats in their last three matches.

They have also tended to struggle on the road in the FA Cup, losing six of their last eight away ties in the competition.

Team News

Midfielder N’Golo Kante is suspended, while defenders Reece James and Andreas Christensen are both struggling with knocks.

Morecambe have a fully-fit squad coming into Sunday’s cup tie.
