Chelsea’s defeat to Brentford in a West London derby on Saturday confirmed that the club is still in crisis, despite appearing to be turning a corner in recent weeks.
The Bees were sent crashing back down to earth after yet another humiliation at the Bridge, having now lost all three Premier League West London derbies at home against Thomas Frank’s men. Mauricio Pochettino started a three-game winning streak with Chelsea’s win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the last round of this competition, before drawing 2-2 with Arsenal in a game where they were in the ascendancy.

Blackburn, like their hosts, have been chalk and cheese so far this season under Jon Dahl Tomasson.
They have only drawn one game in 17 games, won nine, and lost seven, but three of those have come in this competition. Those cup victories have also been littered with goals, as the 2002 champions are the competition’s top scorers, having defeated Walsall 4-3 in round one, Harrogate Town 8-0 in round two, and Cardiff City 5-2 in the previous round.

Despite their struggles this season, Chelsea’s record against lower-league opposition speaks for itself, and they should advance here. Given their goal-scoring exploits in this competition thus far, and Chelsea’s form, Blackburn will fancy their chances, but a huge upset may be beyond them.
Chelsea 2-0 Blackburn Rovers, predicted by us.
