There is a huge gap in class between the rivals and it is unlikely that the hosts will lose. However, Chelsea is currently in a decent decline, there are many problems with the implementation of moments, the Londoners have not won in four matches in a row. Morecambe will clearly close in defense, which will not be so easy for the aristocrats to break through several times. We do not think that we should expect a crushing victory in this match by Chelsea, who, moreover, will definitely play far from the main lineup.
