Chelsea Team News

The Saturday´s defeat in the mini derby against Brentford confirmed that Chelsea are still in a crisis despite a couple of good results lately. Currently The Blues are in 11^th place in the Premiership with only 12 points won from 10 rounds played, while in the EFL Cup they are doing much better with two wins against AFC Wimbledon and Brighton.

Since Chelsea have a very important league clash with Tottenham only five days after today´s game, head coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to make changes to the starting 11, which should still have more than enough quality to take down Blackburn in a competition in which so far Chelsea have been very uninspiring.

Blackburn Team News

The team led by head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson has been very unstable this season. After a total of 17 games played they have nine wins, seven defeats and one draw, while in this competition they already managed to surpass three obstacles.

They managed to eliminate Walsall, Harrogate and Cardiff in high-scoring affairs, but today we should witness a different and calmer game. What is interesting is the fact that Blackburn have so far been the most efficient team offensively in the entire competition, but all of this shouldn´t matter too much against a top-tier team that is at least a class above them and couple of classes above the opponents they played against so far.

💬 "The pressure’s on them. They’re in a higher division, but if we can go there and play our game then I don’t see why we can’t perform and cause an upset."

Hayden Carter says #Rovers should relish the chance to go up against Premier League opponents Chelsea on Wednesday.
