The Chelsea team will challenge the Wimbledon team in a 2e ronde EFL Carabao Cup in Stamford Bridge Stadium, London on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. For streaming coverage of Chelsea vs Wimbledon, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Chelsea will host AFC Wimbledon at Stamford Bridge in the second round of the 2023-24 League Cup on Wednesday (30/8). This is the first meeting between the two teams since 1997, when Chelsea won 3-0 in the FA Cup.
Chelsea are trying to bounce back from a disappointing last season, where they only finished 12th in the Premier League standings. They were also knocked out in the third round of the League Cup by Man City with a score of 1-4. This season, they have replaced their manager with Mauricio Pochettino, who previously coached Tottenham and PSG.
Pochettino just picked up his first win for Chelsea last weekend, when they beat Luton Town 3-0 at home. Goals from Raheem Sterling (2 goals) and Nicolas Jackson saw Chelsea move up to 10th in the table. They also managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time this season.
Wimbledon, on the other hand, is enjoying a fine start to the season. They are fourth in League Two (fourth division) with 10 points from five matches. They also qualified for the second round of the League Cup after a 2-1 win over Coventry City, a team from the second division, earlier this month.
The visitors have an unbeaten record in their last six matches in all competitions, with five wins and one draw. They also scored 14 goals and conceded only five during that period. Their main striker is Joe Pigott, who has scored four goals this season.
However, Wimbledon will face a big challenge when they visit Stamford Bridge. They were winless against Chelsea in their previous seven meetings, with five defeats and two draws. They have also not scored a goal at home to Chelsea in their last four visits.
Chelsea will most likely rotate for this game, but still have a strong and experienced squad. They will also be motivated to continue their positive momentum and satisfy their home crowd. Therefore, Chelsea is expected to win easily over Wimbledon.
