Chelsea vs Blackburn – Preview, and Prediction
Chelsea vs Blackburn – Blackburn Rovers have earned the right to travel to Stamford Bridge for their match against Chelsea in the last 16 round after scoring at least four goals in each of the first three League Cup matches.
The Premier League team is the clear favorite going into the Wednesday night contest.
Chelsea defeated Brighton in the previous round, and their only chance to win a trophy this year may well be to make a deep run in the League Cup.
Mauricio Pochettino will likely use all his tools to target Blackburn, especially as the Premier League’s Monday night matchup between Tottenham and the local rivals will only happen once.
The Blues dropped to the bottom half of the table after a 0-2 home loss to Brentford on Saturday. Thus, they ended a three-game streak of scoring two or more goals.
Here, Chelsea will have a great opportunity to boost team morale against Jon Dahl Tomasson’s attacking-oriented Blackburn club.
In 14 championship games, Riverside conceded 23 goals. They are 12th in the division with 6 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses. Swansea City beat Blackburn 0-1 at home on Saturday, breaking their three-game winning streak.
