THE PREDICTION
A historic day awaits for National League North side Chorley, as the team currently 10th in the sixth tier of English football, welcome Championship side Derby County to Victory Park. The Rams are currently managed by England legend Wayne Rooney on an interim basis and he was set to share a touchline with primary school headteacher and Chorley manager Jamie Vermiglio. However, it has been announced that due to a Covid-19 outbreak in the Derby camp, Rooney along with the entire Rams' first team squad are to miss the game with the away side being formed of under-23 and under-18 players and coaching staff. Chorley have beaten two League One sides in Wigan Athletic (2-3 AET) and Peterborough United (1-2) to get here and they stand an incredible opportunity, considering the circumstances surrounding the match. Facing effectively a Derby youth team, Chorley will never stand a better opportunity to make it to the fourth round and the hosts double chance should be seriously considered here.
