Chelsea will begin their 2024-2025 FA Cup journey by hosting Morecambe in the third round. The opponent is playing in League Two (England's fourth tier).
This will be the perfect opponent for The Blues to win and regain their spirit. Coach Enzo Maresca's team has not won in the last 4 matches and has fallen to 4th place in the Premier League rankings.
Morecambe are currently second from bottom in the fourth tier of English football with poor form. They have won just five of their last 24 games, conceding 39 goals.
The two teams have only faced each other once before, at Stamford Bridge in the third round of the 2020-21 FA Cup. All four of Chelsea's goalscorers in that match - Mason Mount, Timo Werner, Hudson-Odoi and Kai Havertz - have since left. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, currently on loan at Bournemouth, is the only player still under contract at Chelsea.
The Blues have shown their superiority against lesser opponents this season, scoring 26 goals in six games in the Europa Conference League - where most of the teams are from less developed footballing backgrounds - with two big wins coming against Noah (Armenia) and Barrow (5-0) in the Carabao Cup.
