Chelsea will look to end their four-game winless run when they host League Two side Morecambe in the FA Cup third round today. A sensational start to the season under new boss Enzo Maresca saw Chelsea mooted as potential challengers for the Premier League title.

However, a disappointing run over the festive period, including defeats to Fulham and Ipswich Town, have seen the Blues drop to fourth place in the league and ten points of leaders Liverpool. A draw to Crystal Palace last weekend extended their winless run to four games, but Maresca’s side will be hopeful of playing themselves back into form in their first match of this year’s FA Cup against Morecambe.

Here is everything you need to know about Chelsea vs Morecambe, including whether the game will be shown on a TV channel or live stream in the UK. Chelsea vs Morecambe will not be shown on TV in the UK today. The game will kick-off at 3pm. Chelsea will likely use the fixture as an opportunity to rotate and give minutes to fringe players, with Morecambe currently second bottom in League Two.
Such rotation could afford Reece James the chance to get his first minutes since suffering another hamstring injury in mid-November. The club captain has been an unused substitute in Chelsea’s last two league games but Maresca confirmed that he planned to give the right-back some minutes today.
