Chelsea v Preston Preview – 06/01/2024 – FA Cup

Chelsea have been struggling for the past few seasons and what is more frustrating for them is that they have one of the most expensive squads but the team is just not preforming to the level expected of them. The FA Cup presents them with a perfect opportunity to win silverware but the FA Cup has produced many upsets and it remains to be seen what will happen here.

Preston are having a descent season in the Championship as they currently occupy position 14 and not looking like they can challenge for a place in the Premier League. We are expecting them to come out in full force against Chelsea and try to cause a major upset at the Bridge.

Like any other team, Chelsea FC have injuries within their squad but they have one of the biggest squads in the EPL and they should have a strong squad to field against Preston.

At the moment, Preston are pushing for a Championship Play-off place because automatic entry looks highly unlikely. However, they will also be looking to have a good run in the FA Cup and beating Chelsea in their own backyard will be great for them.
