These two sides have not met since Blackburn was over a decade ago. As you would expect, Chelsea’s recent record over Rovers has been exceptional, with the Blues winning the last four. However, Blackburn won on penalties when they last met in this competition.
The Chelsea boys have certainly had their woes of late, but they should make home advantage count in this cup tie. Back the home team to be winning at half time and full time at -138.
Nicolas Jackson scored the only goal of the game when Chelsea edged past Brighton in the previous round. The Senegal international has scored three times for the Blues this season, and Jackson is available at +400 to open the scoring in this one.
