    Chelsea are back in action on Friday as they make the short trip to Craven Cottage to face Fulham.

  • CLASSY GESTURE

    Morecambe may have bowed out of the competition, but they were gracious enough to wish Chelsea luck.

    The League Two side now turn their attention to Saturday’s fixture against Leyton Orient where they’ll look to extend their unbeaten run in the league to five games.

  • STAT ATTACK

    Chelsea enjoyed a whopping 84.5 per cent of the possession.

    However, they only managed eight shots on target.

    Crawley 3-0 Leeds

    Bristol City 2-1 Portsmouth

    Barnsley 2-0 Tranmere

  • FT: CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    91. Morecambe have hung in there pretty well against some of the biggest names in thee game.

    The score line doesn’t reflect their decent defending today.

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    91. Chelsea’s unbeaten run at this stage in the FA Cup extenmds to 23 seasons.

    The last team to knock them out at this stage was Manchester United.

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    90. Chelsea are in action against Fulham next, while Morecambe are in London again to face Leyton Orient.

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    90. Two minutes of added time at Stamford Bridge.

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    88. Tomori is penalised for a foul on Lyons.

    The Chelsea man loses the ball and shows some real pace chasing Lyons down- it looks like a decent challenge to me.

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    86. Substitution for Morecambe as McAlinden replaces Stockton.

  • CHELSEA 4-0 MORECAMBE 

    85. Chelsea comfortably through to round four with their fourth goal.

    A lovely delivery from the right, courtesy of Azpilicueta, picks out Havertz perfectly in the six-yard box.

    Havertz is up and heads the ball with plenty of conviction into the back of the net.

    A much better header from Havertz than his first-half effort – that should give him plenty of confidence.

  • GOOOOOAL

    HAVERTZ HAS GOT HIS NAME ON THE SCORESHEET

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    83. Another Morecambe sub is flicking through their red-folder.

    Either he’s choosing his post-match dinner, or checking the game plan…

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    81. Gilmour, who’s always busy and always probing, picks up a loose ball in the centre of the field.

    He sends a perfectly weighted pass to the edge of the area, but Pulisic gives the ball away with his first touch.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    80. Anjorin has been with Chelsea since he was seven.

    Can he make his mark today?

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    78. Frank Lampard looks as though he’ll be making the most of the five substitutions which are allowed in the FA Cup.

    Zouma and Hudson-Odoi are replaced by Anjorin and Tomori.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    77. Yellow card for Gibson after a late tackle on Hudson-Odoi.

    Nothing too sinister.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    76. Delivery into the penalty area from Gibson on the right is decent.

    Just a shame that there’s no one in the centre of the box to meet his cross- instead Arrizabalaga collects.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    75. Morecambe win a freekick in Chelsea’s half, it’s about 30 yards out.

    It’s whipped in to the centre of the box where Davis gets up to greet it, but his header is straight at Arrizabalaga.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    74. Morecambe make a substitution of their own as Lyons comes on for his debut replacing Mendes Gomes.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    72. Corner to Chelsea is whipped in to the centre of the box by Mason Mount, but Olivier Giroud heads it over the bar.

    That’s Mount’s final touch of the game, as Tammy Abraham replaces him.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    70. BLOCKED ON THE LINE BY HALSTEAD!

    A lovely bit of build-up play sees every attacking player in Chelsea’s line-up touch the ball in and around the box.

    Mount’s twinkle toes ensure Chelsea hold onto the ball that smidge longer than they probably should have, but it was Havertz who eventually had the shot at goal.

    Halstead blocked it well with an athletic leap and recovered quickly to block the German international’s second attempt from close range.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    69. As a League Two defender, it’s not every day you come up against a World Cup winner as they do today in the shape of Olivier Giroud.

    Chelsea have had huge amounts of possession, but Morecambe have limited them to only a few opportunities in front of goal.

  • CHELSEA 3-0 MORECAMBE 

    67. Double substitution for Chelsea;

    Olivier Giroud is on for Timo Werner.

    While Ziyech’s game is over, Pulisic is on in his place.
