FA Cup fourth round draw: How to watch, Chelsea's ball number & potential opponents

Enzo Maresca and Chelsea are waiting to discover their FA Cup fourth round opponents after beating Morecambe.

Chelsea comfortably beat the League Two side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, courtesy of goals from Tosin Adarabioyo (2), Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix (2) to claim a 5-0 victory.

"It's an important competition but since we started," said Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca. "We are trying to treat all of the competitions the same way. The Premier League, the Conference League, unfortunately in the Carabao Cup we lost against Newcastle, now the FA Cup. We try to do our best in all of the competitions."

The early rounds of the FA Cup have served Maresca with another opportunity to rotate and share minutes across the squad, offering rests for the likes of Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia.

After completing a professional job over Morecambe, Chelsea will be hoping for a favourable tie to take them closer to Wembley.
