Manager Mauricio Pochettino is calling on the fans to maintain their trust in the team after Chelsea’s disappointing loss to Brentford over the weekend.
Despite a recent four-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, the Blues suffered a discouraging 2-0 defeat to their local rivals at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino’s squad had control of the game but couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities, ultimately experiencing defeat due to goals scored by Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo.
Chelsea have now turned their focus to the League Cup fourth-round match against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Pochettino conveyed a heartfelt message to the fans, encouraging them to have faith and confidence in the team’s progress. While talking in a pre-match conference (as quoted by Football London), he said:
“Really important. We are going to try and play with our best team. Maybe some players we need to rest because after Saturday we cannot take some risks.”
The Blues are eager to get back to winning ways against Blackburn as they prepare for a challenging series of fixtures.
Chelsea are widely seen as the strong favorites in their upcoming match against Blackburn.
However, they have a challenging series of games to follow, including fixtures against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Manchester United.
In the coming weeks, the fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, but their primary focus remains on supporting their team as they aim to secure victory against a Championship opponent.
