Chelsea vs Plymouth Argyle prediction

Chelsea are taking the FA Cup seriously this year and that doesn’t bode well for Plymouth Argyle’s chances of an producing a shock win at Stamford Bridge.

Chesterfield were humbled 5-1 in their opening encounter of this season’s tournament, while the visitors saw off Birmingham City in the third round.

Thomas Tuchel sprung a surprise by naming such a strong team in the previous round as many pundits had expected him to rest players with such a demanding upcoming schedule.

Chelsea’s Premier League title charge has hit the skids but the Blues are still battling on five fronts having reached the Carabao Cup final and the Club World Cup.

Chelsea will have been grateful for the two week rest and should be firing on all cylinders for Plymouth’s visit, so a big defeat for the away side is a very real possibility. The Pilgrims are fairing reasonably well this season and currently side seventh in League One. Defensively, however, they are not particularly solid – as their goals conceded column of 35 from 28 games would suggest.

Chelsea vs Plymouth Argyle betting tips

The prospect of a Tuchel side being knocked out of the FA Cup by a lower league side seems almost preposterous at present. Chelsea have morphed from a fragile outfit under Frank Lampard into a well drilled unit capable of scoring plenty of goals from a wide array of positions.

The Blues only lost Bernard Mendy to AFCON duty allowing the world’s most expensive goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to step up in his absence and rekindle his Stamford Bridge career. Marcus Bettinelli got the nod against Chesterfield but whoever gets picked in goal will fancy their chances of keeping a clean sheet.

At the other end of the pitch the likes of Romleu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic will all be looking to cash in like they did in the previous round. The west Londoners had 24 shots, 11 of which were on target all while hoarding 80 per cent of possession. Admittedly Plymouth are a stronger team than Chesterfield but with a playoff place within their grasp don’t be surprised if Stephen Schumacher doesn’t select his strongest XI.
