Chelsea vs Blackburn: EFL Cup Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Chelsea, who have won the EFL Cup five times, will host Championship team Blackburn Rovers at Stamford Bridge in the fourth round on Wednesday. Despite some positive results, Chelsea suffered a significant defeat over the weekend that has pushed them back into the lower half of the Premier League standings.

Chelsea’s recent defeat to Brentford confirms their ongoing crisis, despite showing signs of improvement in recent weeks. The loss against Brentford marked their third home Premier League defeat to the same team. Chelsea, led by Mauricio Pochettino, had a three-game winning streak, but with only 12 points from 10 matches, they’re now in the lower half of the Premier League table. They need to avoid any mishaps in the upcoming cup tie that could add more pressure to Pochettino. Chelsea has a strong track record against lower-league teams but has struggled to advance past this stage in the last eight seasons.

Blackburn’s performance this season, under Jon Dahl Tomasson, has been inconsistent, with just one draw in 17 games – nine wins and seven losses. In the EFL Cup, they’ve displayed their scoring prowess, with wins against Walsall (4-3), Harrogate Town (8-0), and Cardiff City (5-2), making them the competition’s top scorers. However, their progress last season ended at the fourth round, knocked out by Nottingham Forest. The last time they advanced further was in 2011-12, reaching the quarter-finals. Despite their recent league improvement, a 1-0 loss to Swansea City halted their three-game winning streak, leaving them in 12th place, just four points away from the playoffs.
