FA Cup third round draw: How to watch, Chelsea's ball number & potential opponents | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca and Chelsea will begin their 2024/25 FA Cup campaign in January and they will soon learn who they will face in the third round.

Chelsea reached the semi-finals last season but failed to reach the final after narrowly losing 1-0 to Manchester City at Wembley.

Their last FA Cup triumph was back in May 2018 when they beat Manchester United 1-0 courtesy of an Eden Hazard penalty, which marked the end of Antonio Conte's tenure at Stamford Bridge.

Now the Blues go again in the FA Cup and Maresca will eye this competition as another chance of silverware and to share out the minutes across the squad, just like the Italian is doing in the Premier League and Conference League following their Carabao Cup exit.
