Chelsea<\/a> will look to end their four-game winless run when they host League Two side Morecambe in the FA Cup<\/a> third round today.<\/p>\n

A sensational start to the season under new boss Enzo Maresca<\/a> saw Chelsea mooted as potential challengers for the Premier League<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A draw to Crystal Palace last weekend<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Chelsea team news<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Such rotation could afford Reece James the chance to get his first minutes since suffering another hamstring injury in mid-November.<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in defence, Josh Acheampong could continue at centre-back after his impressive display against Palace, while Renato Veiga and Axel Disasi might also get minutes.<\/p>\n

Benoit Badisahille and Wesley Fofana remain longer-term absentees due to their respective injuries, with the latter facing an extended spell on the sidelines.<\/a><\/p>\n
