| Liam Rosenior faced a manageable challenge in his debut match. Away win at Charlton Athletic 5-1 and the 41-year-old made eight changes to the starting lineup compared to the previous Premier League defeat against Fulham. The first real test awaits the former Strasbourg coach in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final with a match against Arsenal. The second major English cup competition is after all an excellent opportunity to lift a trophy. Chelsea's record against their London rivals has plummeted over the past months and years. Even at Stamford Bridge, the hosts are winless in their last six encounters. These matches have often been tense affairs right up to the final whistle. |
