James starts! Chelsea name XI for Morecambe FA Cup clash | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca has once again rotated his Chelsea side for their clash with Morecambe at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The Blues, who have not won in their last four games in the Premier League, will be hoping to build some momentum against the Shrimps, who currently sit in the relegation places in League Two.

To that end, Maresca has opted to hand starts to both Reece James and Romeo Lavia, in a side that blends youth prospects Marc Guiu and Tyrique George with the experience of Christopher Nkunku and Pedro Neto.

Can Morecambe cause a massive shock?
