How to watch, Chelsea’s ball number and potential opponents

Enzo Maresca and Chelsea begin their 2024/25 FA Cup campaign in January and will soon find out who they will face in the third round.

Chelsea reached the semi-finals last season but failed to reach the final after narrowly losing 1-0 to Manchester City at Wembley.

Their last FA Cup triumph came in May 2018, when they beat Manchester United 1-0 thanks to an Eden Hazard penalty, marking the end of Antonio Conte’s reign at Stamford Bridge.

Now the Blues are taking part in the FA Cup again and Maresca sees this competition as another chance for the title and the opportunity to share minutes with the entire team, as the Italian did after his exit from the Carabao Cup in the Premier League and the Conference League does.

Here’s all the details you need ahead of the FA Cup third round draw.
