Chelsea vs Bristol Rovers: Possible lineups, Predictions, Tactics & Stats
This would be Michy Batshuayi’s first start for the club since his big money move from Marseille. “Now we must continue and we have a great chance to continue in the next game at home”, he further added.
The performances clearly need to be improved but one can see that this Chelsea side never give up and Conte most certainly has had a very positive impact on the Premier League giants.
Antonio Conte continues his reign as Chelsea boss after back-to-back wins in the Premier League with Bristol Rovers coming to town. He even scored a goal against Southend and will be the one to watch out for.
After the disastrous start of last season that cost Jose Mourinho his job by December, Blues fans will have been quietly encouraged by their new manager’s first two games.
This is the first time Chelsea have played in round two of the League Cup since the 1996-97 season.
Chelsea have won their past eight League Cup ties against lower-ranked opposition, since losing on penalties to Burnley in November 2008.
Victories over West Ham and Watford in the Premier League have opened Conte’s reign in ideal style ahead of their second-round tie in the EFL Cup at Stamford Bridge.
Batshuayi scored a second, and Chelsea’s third, from Loftus-Cheek’s pass after he had been picked out from midfield by Cesc Fabregas four minutes before half-time. His pace and strength are particularly impressive and he will be hoping to score a few in this match.
