Chelsea eased into the fourth round of the FA Cup as much-improved second-half display earned them a 4-0 win over Preston North End.
It was a poor first 45 minutes from the Blues, who named a strong lineup but failed to dominate their Championship opposition. Raheem Sterling had an shot comfortably saved and Cole Palmer's scooped effort trickled wide, but that was as close as they came to opening the scoring.
