AI match recap
Chelmsford travel with the steadier recent defensive platform and valuable experience from earlier away cup rounds. Wimborne have shown real attacking punch at the Wyatt Homes Stadium, but their midweek loss ended a strong sequence and Lewis Williams’ ACL injury reduces Tim Sills’ forward options. This is a major occasion for the hosts, who will need Díaz and McQuoid to make their early pressure count. Chelmsford’s ability to survive that opening spell and bring Taylor into play should shape the tie.
Injuries and absences
Lewis Williams is a confirmed absence after suffering a ruptured ACL, despite the supplied availability feed listing no home injuries. Wimborne lose a forward rotation option and must lean more heavily on their remaining attacking group, especially Díaz and McQuoid.
