Enzo Maresca gets chance to rest stars again after seeing next FA Cup draw at home | OneFootball

Last night saw the next round of The FA Cup drawn out the hat, and Chelsea have been handed a very favourable draw indeed.

Not only have they been drawn at home in the third round of the FA Cup, but they have also been drawn against League Two opposition in Morecambe Town.

Morecambe currently sit rock bottom of League Two and are in danger of going out of professional football this season if they do not improve their results and performances.

In terms of teams that Chelsea could have drawn this round, they will certainly be more than happy with this one.

Of course, you can never get complacent in draws like this, and they can often present a banana skin moment. But Chelsea will feel that they will breeze this one easy even if I expect a plucky Morecambe to arrive at Chelsea ready to play the biggest game of their careers and the biggest game that most of them will ever play in. What a trip out for them mind.

Chance to rest stars

Maresca can rest some stars

Blues boss Enzo Maresca will see this as another big chance to rest some of his biggest names and some of his star players.

I’m not sure how serious Maresca will take this competition, but I fully expect it to be a bit of a priority. Imagine winning silverware in his first season here? And this is a great chance to do so.

But in these earlier rounds, I have no doubt we will still be seeing the ‘B-Team’ – the team that has been lining up in cup matches so far this season.

Further down the line, if Chelsea get there, then it will be more interesting to see his lineup and whether he brings in some of the regular league starters as well.
