United Kingdom Chelsea vs. Morecambe, FA Cup: Live blog; highlights
Welcome to this season’s FA Cup! We enter, as usual, in the third round, and face the second worst team in the top four divisions of English football. Chelsea should win and win big, though of course we still have to play the game, too.
Enzo Maresca has rotated his squad, opting for a fun-looking, attack-heavy lineup. Both Roméo Lavia and captain Reece James return from injury! With the youth team also in action today, and Sam Rak-Sakyi suffering from food poisoning, the bench is full of the A-team.
Samuel Rak-Sakyi is out of Chelsea’s match against Morecambe today with food poisoning. It’s a shame as he probably would have started.
