Lincoln City vs Chelsea prediction

Lincoln City don’t have anything to lose heading into this one and will do everything they can to give Chelsea a run for their money, especially having already seen League Two club Grimsby Town knock out Man Utd in the previous round. But getting the better of a deep Chelsea squad packed to the rafters with depth will not be easy.

Enzo Maresca could make multiple changes and Chelsea’s starting XI would still be stacked with talent. But teamwork could prove an issue, specifically lack of chemistry and cohesion. It would be no surprise therefore if the Imps found the net and backing both teams alongside a Chelsea win warrants serious consideration.
