Preston North End vs Chelsea Live |
 |
Preston North End will put up their mediocre Championship record against Premier League leaders, and FA Cup holders, Chelsea on Saturday in the 4th round of the FA Cup. Be sure to log on to watchfootballnow.com to see league leaders Chelsea when they travel to Preston in the FA Cup.
Preston comes into the game after suffering a 4-2 defeat at Bristol City, while Chelsea comes after 7-2, not a misprint, winners over Sunderland in the Premier League last Saturday.
It remains an interesting part of the season for Chelsea: they are without their four African stars who are away at the African Cup of Nations. While Michael Essien returned to Chelsea, he is out for a month (at least) with an injury. Didier Drogba, Solomon Kalou and John Obi Mikel remain absent. But, that was the (case? Problem?) last week when Chelsea simply ripped Sunderland to shreds.
While it will be a tall task for Preston, it isn’t impossible. Just a look to two years ago, you see that Chelsea was knocked out to a Championship side in Barsnley. Either way, Chelsea will come into the game with a lot of confidence while Preston’s 3rd round clash, a 7-0 trashing of Colchester, will give them a boost.
