GOAL FOR CHELSEA!
It has been coming but unexpected that it comes from Azpilicueta and he does it with a cool backheel from Mount's low cross from the by-line.

Is it Plymouth's day? Lukaku lays the ball off to Kovacic 20 yards from goal and his shot beats Cooper but comes back off the inside of the post.

OFF THE BAR!
For the second time the Blues go so close. Ziyech dinks a cross to the back post and Hudson-Odoi heads at goal but hits the same part of the bar Kovacic did earlier.
29'
Ziyech's shot is deflected
But fortunately for the Plymouth stopper it bounces kindly straight into his arms.
28'
Plymouth under cosh now
Two more corners swung into the box but they are holding firm at the moment.
25'
Real chance for Rudiger
Ziyech's inswinging corner was superb but the centre back failed to make contact with a header with the ball begging to be smashed home.
23'
Great defending
Hudson-Odoi had the freedom of the left hand side of the pitch after a one-two got Edwards out of position but Wilson came across and shoulder-barged him shepherding the ball out for a goal kick.

Jorginho goes into the book
He fouls Jephcott who turned him on the counter-attack.

Plymouth loom anything but a League 1 side
Their organisation behind the ball is fantastic and keep possession well on the break.
13'
Appeal for penalty!
The referee shakes his head after Camara's shot is blocked by Sarr, but it came after great play from Argyle.

Plymouth get the game underway...

One thing is for sure today...
If Plymouth are to win they'll have earned it with Chelsea playing a strong side. You get the feeling Tuchel is hoping Lukaku can get his confidence up with a bagful.
12:12
At that time Chelsea had just one FA Cup win, Dave Webb's famous winner after a long throw, now they have 8. The Blues' last triumph was the 1-0 win over Manchester United in 2018.
12:06
Five years earlier, Argyle got to the FA Cup semi-final where George Reilly's goal saw them lose 1-0 to Watford.
12:00
Chelsea last played Plymouth back in 1988/89 when they did the double over them in the Divison Two (championship in new money) and also in the Simod Cup - a torunament with similar prestige to the European Conference League.
