Chelsea are seeking to start the Liam Rosenior era with a bang on Saturday night when they visit fellow Londoners Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round.

Rosenior watched on from the stands as Chelsea were beaten 2–1 by local rivals Fulham midweek but now has the chance to patrol the technical area himself at The Valley. The first of seven January matches for the newly appointed boss, he will be desperate for a quick start.

Chelsea haven’t duelled Charlton in nearly two decades but should swiftly reassert their dominance in this fixture with a routine victory on Saturday. Punching their ticket to the fourth round of the FA Cup should prove no issue for the star-studded Blues.

However, the FA Cup is renowned for conjuring unexpected drama and Chelsea complacency could well be punished by the Addicks, who are chasing a memorable giant-killing.

Here’s how to watch Rosenior’s Chelsea debut on TV and live stream.
