      Chelsea 2 Blackburn 0: Carabao Cup offers Blues fans glimmer of hope as they show their class to reach quarter-finals

      by

      MAURICIO POCHETTINO’S hobbling heroes helped Chelsea take a cautious step towards Wembley in his first season as boss.Benoit Bediashile put them ahead in his first appearance of the season following a frustrating hamstring injury.

      And skipper Reece James made his first start since the opening game of the campaign thanks to a similarly dicky leg and added much-needed steel to the soft-touch Blues.
      It was a long way from a classic Chelsea steamrollering of yesteryear – even against lower league opposition. 
      But Pochettino still finds himself in the quarter finals of a major tournament just four months after taking over the reins as head coach.
      As with most things at this transitional club right now, the one goal lead looked fragile until old soldier Raheem Sterling curled in a peach of a second bang on the hour to seal the win.

      This young squad is still feeble in the very frontline with striker Nicolas Jackson gradually fading from the game after a promising start.
      Having been urged to wake up by a heckler at the weekend, the Senegalese forward had two shots on goal inside the first ten minutes but was unable to add to his three goals this season.
      And despite enjoying superiority in almost every department, it took a misjudgement by Rovers’ keeper Leo Wahlstedt to hand Chelsea the lead on half hour.
      Conor Gallagher clipped a cross into the six yard box from a short corner and Wahlstedt managed only to paw at the ball instead of land a decisive punch into clear space.

      It was a gift to advancing Chelsea defender Badiashile who stepped up and lamped a shot into the back of the net from among a crowd of defenders.
      Pochettino made four changes to his team that was sunk 2-0 at home by Brentford at the weekend as his battle to construct a sense of consistency took a backward lurch.
      With James hopefully back long term now there is a definite feel of added physicality and pace to Chelsea. 
      The captain reminded everyone of his speed by latching onto a ball from Enzo Fernandes and lashing a shot straight at keeper Wahlstedt. 
      In the 24th minute he let rip with a precise diagonal shot across goal that fired narrowly wide.
      Blackburn love the freedom of a cup tie and scored 17 goals in previous rounds of this competition prior to kick off. One of those was an 8-0 stuffing of League Two Harrogate.
      Yet Rovers are a patchy mid-table Championship side and luckily for chelsea the visitors brought their league form with them to West London.
      Two minutes into the second half, young forward Harry Leonard was put clean through but outstripping the Chelsea defence for pace sent his shot well wide and fluffed his big chance on the big stage.
      Even so, Rovers can regard themselves desperately unlucky not to have been awarded a penalty in the first half when Blues’ midfielder Conor Gallagher handled a cross hit at pace by Callum Brittain.
      Gallagher’s back was turned but his left hand was certainly flapping in an unnatural position. The absence of VAR made for a more flowing game but at cost to Rovers.

      Likewise, Chelsea could lay claim to a spot kick in the first half when Raheem Sterling appeared to be felled by Rovers skipper Lewis Travis in the 10th minute.
      Sterling’s classy goal was the trigger for Pochettino to take James off with a good hour under his belt but with Monday’s visit to Tottenham very much in mind. More

      That was after the way Newcastle’s Tino Livramento went past Mount with immense ease

      And it was Almiron’s opener in the 28th minute that led to some intense criticism for Mount.
      Tino Livramento won the ball back in the Toon’s own half, before going past the playmaker with absolute ease.
      Livramento then played the Paraguay international a perfect ball at the back post from where his team-mate hit the back of the net.
      United legend Gary Neville was so stunned he claimed the full-back went past Mount “like he’s not there”.

      Fans took to social media immediately after Newcastle’s opener to voice their own shock.
      Some even trolled United over recent reports suggesting the players have found their adidas kit to be “too tight”.
      Paddy Power tweeted: “If only Mason Mount’s shirt wasn’t so tight, Livramento wouldn’t have been able to waltz past him as if he wasn’t there.”
      Another commented: “What has happened Mason Mount, my God Livramento walked past him there.”

      It doesn’t get any easier
      It may well go from bad to worse for Arsenal, they face Newcastle away at the weekend.
      Newcastle, are currently beating Manchester United 3-0 with 10 minutes to go…

      A tasty potential match up
      All eyes will be on two of these three teams meeting each other in the quarter finals…
      Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle are arguably the strongest teams remaining in the competition, and any two of those meeting up could mean very good news for the other one…
      When is the draw?
      The draw for the quarter final is expected to start after the Manchester United vs Newcastle United ends at 10:15pm.
      You can find all the details of the quarter final draw here.
      West Ham’s list of potential opponents so far is as follows:

      Liverpool
      Chelsea
      Everton
      Newcastle United (Currently 3-0 up against Man Utd)
      Middlesbrough
      Port Vale
      Fulham

      Man of the match
      There are a host of stars that this award could go to tonight for West Ham, it feels cruel to single out one man in such a spectacular team performance.
      Jarrod Bowen was brilliant up front in the false nine role, scoring a stunning volley and going to war for his team when needed.
      Lucas Paqueta showed flashes of brilliance, but was also persistent and strong in midfield and showed brutality when required.
      The SunSport man of the match though, goes to Mohammed Kudus.
      The Ghanaian winger was imperious in the right wing position, and scored the pick of the bunch with a wonderful touch inside, followed by a strike that nutmegged Gabriel and beat Ramsdale in goal.
      Shades of Riyad Mahrez from the summer signing tonight, and he is starting to look like a bargain.

      Goodnight.
      Tough to come…
      There will be tougher games to come for Chelsea in the coming weeks.
      Poch heads back to high flying Spurs on Monday night in a hotly-anticipated encounter.
      Then it’s Man City and Newcastle that follows before a home clash with Brighton.
      Tough indeed

      From the front
      Reece James was heavily involved throughout the night on his first start for seven weeks.
      He didn’t have much defending to do and registered four shots on the night.

      Top three
      The Chelsea admin selecting the three players up for tonight’s man of the match.
      Cole Palmer would just edge it for me and Enzo probably unlucky not to find himself in the shake-up.

      So, who next?
      There’s a few big boys out the way, so who do you want next, Blues fans?
      I would think they wouldn’t be too disappointed with a home draw that doesn’t involve Liverpool or Newcastle.
      Maybe if you shout loud enough…

      Other scores tonight….
      And the big news on the night is Arsenal are OUT after a 3-1 defeat to West Ham.
      While Manchester United look set to follow them as Newcastle are 3-0 up after an hour at Old Trafford!
      Middlesbrough and Port Vale progressed last night.
      Ipswich 1 Fulham 3
      Bournemouth 1 Liverpool 2
      West Ham 3 Arsenal 1
      Everton 3 Burnley 0
      Man Utd 0 Newcastle 3 (latest)
      Chelsea go through
      Badiashile and Sterling goals see Chelsea canter past Blackburn at Stamford Bridge.
      They never really had to get out second gear and really could and should have been more.
      FULL TIME!!
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      A comfortable evening for Chelsea as they book their place in the Carabao Cup quarter finals!
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      90+3. That was Blackburn’s chance!
      Sigurdsson is sent clean through, one-on-one and he delays and delays and delays his effort.
      He eventually fires low and hard towards the bottom corner and Sanchez reads it and parries it wide with a strong hand.
      Not sure how he didn’t score there but you could see the panic in him as he ran towards goal!
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      90+2. Nearly! Sterling drives forward and feeds Cucurella to his left, who sends a deep ball in which Gusto meets and sends a shot well over the bar from the edge.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      Four minutes added on at the end here.
      Enough time for one more goal…?
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      89. Hill with a wild attempt from the edge of the box for Blackburn.
      It scoops high and wide as they are yet to find the target.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      87. Double change for Chelsea:

      OFF: Enzo & Palmer
      ON: Madueke & Matos

      CLOSE! Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      85. Sterling again. He stands his man up inside the box before a drop of the shoulder and drive wide.
      He smashes the ball low and hard across goal, narrowly missing the far post for his second of the game.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      84. Rare Blackburn chance as a good cross finds Garrett 12 yards from goal.
      There’s not much pace on the cross and his header drifts harmlessly wide.
      Just not been their night at all.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      82. Sterling again with all the time in the world to drive into the box on the right.
      Blackburn defenders stand off him and he is allowed to pick his head and deliver a cross.
      The visitors lucky that Sterling smashes the cross and sends it out for a throw in, somehow.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      82. Chelsea playing keep ball now as Palmer now makes his way to play the central striker role.
      He’s had another big impact and could’ve had a goal or two to show for his efforts tonight.
      There’s still time though….

      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      81. Sterling nearly manages to squeeze the ball through for Palmer to get himself a goal.
      It just skips away from the 21-year-old and out for a goal kick.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      79. Caicedo’s first act is to cover for Ugochukwu who stalls in possession and loses it 35 yards from goal.
      Caicedo fouls his man for a dangerous free kick, though they take it quick and it comes to nothing.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      76. Chelsea change:

      OFF: Nicolas Jackson
      ON: Moises Caicedo

      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      75. Chelsea are attacking at will now. Gallagher drives towards the edge and Cucurella’s run opens the space for him.
      He tries to bend a strike into the far corner which bounces a yard wide.

      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      73. More good play down the left from Blackburn and Wharton looks set to get his head to a great stand-up cross.
      Cucurella just leans into him and sends him to ground but the referee not interested.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      Just prior to that, Sterling got free in down the right and opted to lay the ball back for Jackson who ballooned high over the bar.
      He’s then sent in behind again but takes too many touches to get the ball under his spell and the defenders clear.
      OFF THE POST! Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      69. It’s Palmer again who gets free and is running at the Rovers backline.
      His fierce effort takes a huge ricochet which sends the ball flying towards the near post before crashing off the upright and going behind.
      Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn
      66. Better play from Blackburn but they’re just lacking that killer ball.
      Pickering doing well to get down the left before running into trouble and they’re back at halfway to start again. More

      The West Londoners have slumped to 11th place in the Prem but are hoping their fortunes will change with James set to start for the first time since the season opener against Liverpool in August.
      The Chelsea captain recently overcame a hamstring injury and made two cameos off the bench against Arsenal, where he played six minutes, and Brentford, where he got 23 minutes, this month.
      Pochettino said: “I can confirm he [James] is going to start. The captain is ready.
      “It’s good for the team, it’s good for him to start from the beginning. We can see after, checking always how he is performing.”

      This also poses as a major boost that could relieve Chelsea from the so-called “Reece James curse” as the England international has not won a Premier League game in 2023.
      If Pochettino’s side beat Blackburn then that won’t break the 23-year-old’s hoodoo, but it could lead to the “curse” being finally lifted on Monday at Tottenham.
      The Argentine tactician also confirmed Ben Chilwell is undergoing rehab on a hamstring injury in Los Angeles.
      Chilwell was sent to LA to change scenery amid his prolonged rehabilitation.

      “When it’s a long period of recovery, sometimes we change the scenarios for them.
      “Twelve hours here every day, it’s a fantastic training ground, but sometimes the player needs to change the atmosphere and the scenario to keep their recovery in a good way.

      Carabao Cup set for huge rule change next season as fans ask ‘how would that even work?’

      by

      THE Carabao Cup is set for a huge rule change from next season.But baffled fans have been left scratching their heads, with many asking: “How would that even work?”
      The Carabao Cup is set for a major rule changeCredit: Getty
      The Carabao Cup, currently held by Manchester United, is seen by many clubs as an opportunity to rotate sides and give lesser squad players a run-out.
      As the competition heats up, managers become enamoured by the idea of landing a trophy midway through the season.
      And as the final rounds emerge, all the big stars are out on display.
      However, there will be one less opportunity for top players to strut their stuff.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      That’s because the Carabao Cup is set to scrap two-legged semi-finals from next season.
      The Mail claims the EFL is finally ready to agree to the move in order to secure a £900million funding package from the Premier League.
      Top-flight chiefs had long been eager to make the semi-finals just one leg to ease congestion.
      But EFL counterparts wanted to keep the home and away ties due to finances, with the Carabao Cup making up a third of their domestic TV deal with Sky Sports.

      However, the broadcaster has now agreed a £935m deal with a clause preventing the EFL from being penalised financially for scrapping the two legs.
      This money, plus the funding from the Premier League, has now pushed EFL chiefs to move to a single semi-final tie.
      But the details are still to be ironed out, with the one-legged affair possibly taking place at a neutral stadium.
      It’s reckoned Premier League clubs would also be more inclined to field strong XIs from the early stages of the Cup.
      And it’s all part of English football’s plan to ease pressure on players, having already axed replays in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup.
      Fans reacted to the news, with some left confused by the plan.
      One said: “How would that even work?”
      Another declared: “Anything to help the bigger clubs as always.”
