"Despite Maresca's earlier insistence that Chelsea were not title contenders-potentially more mind games than genuine doubt-their recent form supports his claims. After eight consecutive wins across all competitions in late 2024, Chelsea has failed to win in their last four matches, collecting just two points from a possible 12 in the Premier League."
"Chelsea has a strong FA Cup record, winning 35 of their last 36 matches against lower-league opposition, the exception being a 2015 loss to Bradford City. A surprise exit against Morecambe seems unlikely."
"Chelsea's selection is affected by injuries and suspensions. Wesley Fofana, caught in a public dispute over his recovery timeline, is ruled out, as are Omari Kellyman (hamstring), Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (unspecified), and Benoit Badiashile (thigh). However, Romeo Lavia and Carney Chukwuemeka could return."
