Chelsea scored four goals against both Peterborough in the third round and Brentford in the fourth round. Over 3.5 goals could be worth considering at 2.54, as quoted by SportyBet.
Conte has confirmed that neither David Luiz nor Marcos Alonso will play today, leaving youngsters like Chalobah, Aké, and Zouma getting the nod to start.
Even with the youngsters starting at the defence, Chelsea is backed to keep a clean sheet at the price of (1.82).
Willian, Pedro and Michy Batshuayi have contributed to every goal Chelsea have scored in the FA Cup this season – seven goals and four assists between the three named players.
