Prediction: 4-2
Plymouth
Chelsea will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Tottenham when they take on Plymouth at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup last 32. The Blues have slim chances of winning the Premier League title, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to go all the way in the FA Cup. Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is on international duty with Senegal, while full-backs Ben Chillwell and Reece James should miss out with injuries.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun in the League One of late. Since Plymouth netted ten goals in total in the previous four league fixtures, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in a competitive match, back in February 1989, Chelsea defeated Plymouth 1-0, but a high-scoring affair is on the cards this time out.
Highlighted Player (Romelu Lukaku):
Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli, born on 13th of ay 1993 is a Belgian player with roots form Congo. Lukaku played for several youth teams before he got picked up by RSC Anderlecht. After playing for only 2 seasons for Anderlecht Chelsea picked him up for around12 million euro.

The biggest achievement of Lukakui is winning the Eerste klasse in Belgium and the English FA Cup. With his strength and goal scoring abilities Lukaku can be considered as one of the deadliest strikers of the world. Nicknames for Lukaku are Big Rom and the Tank.

Nicknamed the Pilgrims, Plymouth are a professional football club that host their rivals at Home Park. The stadium, which can hold up to 18,600 people, was built in 1892 and opened the following year. Plymouth footballers wear dark green jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while light green and white are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Pilgrims made it to the FA Cup semi-finals in the 1983-84 season, with the team advancing to the Football League Cup semis on two occasions (1964-65, 1973-74). The Pilgrims recorded their biggest win against Millwall on January 16, 1932, with the team beating the Lions 8-1, and they repeated the success in 1994 as they rolled over Hartlepool United in the Second Division.
The club suffered their heaviest defeat against Stoke City (0-9) on December 17, 1960. Fellow Devon teams Exeter City and Torquay United are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals.
