Chelsea and Preston North End will meet again in the FA Cup 3rd round at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, London Saturday, January 06, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Chelsea has shown quite good performance in their last few matches. In the last five matches in all competitions, the Blues have achieved three wins, one draw and only one defeat. The defeat occurred when they played away from Stamford Bridge, with a score of 1-2 against Wolves.
However, at home, Chelsea, who will now play as hosts, is showing a strong performance. They are unbeaten in the last six matches, including five wins and one draw. This shows that Chelsea has high confidence ahead of the match against Preston North End.
On the other hand, Preston North End have suffered four defeats in their last five matches, including the last two where they did not score. Their performance at home is also less than satisfactory, with two wins, two draws and six defeats in the last ten matches.
In the midst of preparations for the match, Chelsea had to play without several important players such as Trevoh Chalobah, Lesley Ugochukwu, Wesley Fofana, Roméo Lavia, Robert Sanchez, Reece James and Marc Cucurella. However, they still have a strong and experienced squad capable of delivering good performances.
On the other hand, Preston North End only has Robert Brady who is a doubt. This means they will have their strongest squad for this match.
Looking at the history of meetings, in the last six meetings between the two teams, Preston North End lost five times and drew once. This shows that they have a big challenge to face Chelsea, especially considering Chelsea’s strong home form.
Therefore, based on all the facts above, Chelsea has a greater chance of winning. Chelsea will be strengthened by Cole Palmer, a former Man City midfielder, who has contributed to 13 goals for Chelsea since the start of the season, scoring nine goals and providing four assists.
