The recent performance of Chelsea in the Premier League against Brentford was indeed a stumble after a relatively good run. The loss might have been disappointing for the team, especially coming against a London rival. However, Chelsea has a chance to redirect their momentum in the EFL Cup following victories over AFC Wimbledon and Brighton and Hove Albion in the previous rounds.
Blackburn Rovers, on the other hand, faced a setback in the EFL Championship against Swansea City after enjoying a winning streak, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers.
In the EFL Cup, Blackburn has been in fine form, notably scoring 17 goals across the first three rounds. Their proficiency in scoring goals and the momentum from their cup performances might pose a challenge for Chelsea.
The EFL Cup fixture between Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers could be an intriguing encounter, especially considering Chelsea's recent Premier League loss and Blackburn's strong cup form. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from their recent setbacks and secure a place in the next round of the competition.
