Chelsea vs Morecambe: FA Cup Betting Odds and Tips

Chelsea have had tremendous success in recent years as they have followed a policy of near ruthlessness when it comes to their managers.

By the standards of the Blues’ hierarchy the year that Frank Lampard was given to grow into his job last season was very generous and it’s no surprise to hear that Chelsea’s poor recent run of form has seen the club start to consider alternatives.

Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Morecambe gives Lampard a welcome break from the intensity of the Premier League and we expect Chelsea to earn a comfortable win, beating the three goal handicap at 7/5 with bet365.

Chelsea vs Morecambe Recommended Bets:

One of the most repeated criticisms of Chelsea under Lampard is that there is no overriding strategy or philosophy.

That’s the sort of thing that managers tend to develop over time and Lampard’s chance of imposing a style of play have been made all the more difficult by the need to shoehorn big money signings into the team.

Lampard has a better reason to make wholesale changes to his team against Morecambe as he allows players a rest ahead of a game for which Chelsea are 1/16 favourites with bet365.

Morecambe find themselves 16th in League Two after 20 matches and are very much in the category of enjoying their day out at Stamford Bridge than seriously challenging for a win so consider backing Chelsea to win both halves at 4/6 with bet365.

Key Battle to Look Out For

With the best will in the world, the key to this match will be how well and for how long Morecambe are able to repel Chelsea’s attacks.

The home side will have the vast majority of possession and the players who step into the starting XI should be able to create a large number of chances.

This is a good opportunity for players on the fringes of the first team, players like Billy Gilmour.

The exciting Scottish midfielder has the chance to play himself into regular contention and we recommend backing him to score anytime on Sunday at 9/2 with Paddy Power.
