Team News

Chelsea
Preston
  • Chelsea will remain without captain Reece James, who looks set to remain sidelined until the end of March.
  • Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Trevoh Chalobah are also among those currently injured.
  • Robert Brady should be the visitors' only potential absentee here.

Prediction

  • Chelsea made it four wins from their last five matches when they triumphed at Luton last weekend, thanks to goals from Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke.
  • The Blues are putting together some home form, too, and have not lost at Stamford Bridge in their last six matches - of which they have won five.
  • Contrastingly, Preston are continuing to experience a rough run of form. The Lilywhites have lost seven of their last 10 games.
  • Preston were most recently beaten away to Sunderland and will need a huge performance to have any chance of progressing to the fourth round here.
