Chelsea is set to continue their strong start by welcoming League Two side Barrow to Stamford .

Despite the off-field turmoil surrounding the club this summer, Enzo Maresca has effectively kept his players focused on the pitch, yielding impressive results. A dominant 3-0 victory against West Ham United placed them in the top four, marked their first back-to-back clean sheets in a year, and extended their Premier League record to just two losses in 20 games.

As Chelsea prepares for a busy schedule, including a clash with Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend, Maresca is expected to rotate the squad for both the upcoming Conference League match against Gent and this cup tie against Barrow. This marks their first domestic cup match of the season, having received a bye in the second round due to European commitments.

Though Chelsea has enjoyed considerable success in the 21st century, they haven't won the EFL Cup since 2015, suffering three final defeats since then, including a loss to a youthful Liverpool team in February.

For Barrow, reaching the third round for the first time in over 50 years is a dream opportunity at Stamford Bridge. Back in the EFL Cup after five years post-promotion from the National League, the in-form League Two team aims to make a strong impression. After being eliminated by Bolton Wanderers last season, Barrow has bounced back by defeating Port Vale and Derby County to earn this match with Chelsea. They currently sit atop League Two following a 2-0 victory over Newport County, having garnered 16 points from their last 21.
