After planting themselves firmly in the Premier League title race, Chelsea fell back to earth with a bump over the Christmas. The Blues failed to win any of their four festive encounters, with a failure to kill off teams a persistent problem, particularly in the defeat to Fulham and last weekend's draw with Crystal Palace. In both games, Enzo Maresca's side led with 10 minutes remaining. The Italian is likely to shuffle his pack in the FA Cup, meaning Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix are all likely to feature.

Morecambe's financial problems are well documented and survival in League Two this season represents a superb feat for a side that relies on free transfers and loans to compete. In his third spell at the club, boss Derek Adams is adored in this part of Lancashire and the Scot has overseen a recent uptick in form that has delivered two wins in the Shrimps' last three outings to move off the foot of the fourth tier. Jordan Slew got the winner in the last round to beat Bradford 1-0, with winger Ben Tollitt also showing his form this term.
