Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs. Morecambe: FA Cup | OneFootball

Chelsea have a chance to end a four game slump this weekend when they begin their FA Cup journey against League Two side Morecambe.

The third round matchup will see the Blues welcome to Stamford Bridge a team that's currently sitting on the relegation places of League Two, in danger of falling to the fourth division of English soccer.

There's no way around it, Chelsea are obligated to win, comfortably at that. Even with the recent poor performances that saw the team drop points in four straight matches, the Blues have far too much talent in their squad not to make Saturday's affair a smooth evening that places them into the next round of the FA Cup.

Enzo Maresca will likely rest some of his key players after a hectic Premier League schedule during the festive period, saving them for the Jan. 14 clash vs. Bournemouth. Captain Reece James could see his first minutes in two months, though, it would probably be coming off the bench.

Here's how Chelsea could lineup vs. Morecambe in the third round of the FA Cup.
