Chelsea will be playing Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup or EFL Cup competition fourth round match today. This will be the first game between the two English clubs in over eleven years. Chelsea won the competition way back in 2015.
Chelsea vs Blackburn Rovers Carabao Cup match will be played at Stamford Bridge in London. The EFL match will kick off at 3.45 pm (ET) on Wednesday. The match won't be live telecast on any TV channel in the US. The live streaming will be available on ESPN+.
Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Reece James will start his first game since the opening day of the season at home to second-tier Blackburn Rovers in Wednesday's League Cup fourth round tie, Mauricio Pochettino said.
Chelsea's captain suffered a hamstring injury after their game with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on August 13 and only returned to action in their last two matches off the bench.
Pochettino takes Chelsea to face his old club Spurs in the league on Monday but the Argentine won't let that influence his team selection for the League Cup game on Wednesday.
With just three wins in 10 Premier League games, Chelsea are in 11th place, 14 points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur. They lost their last match 2-0 at home to Brentford on Saturday and their season targets may need to change.
