Get ready for an exciting football showdown as Chelsea's new era begins! Liam Rosenior's first game as Chelsea's manager is a must-watch, and we've got all the live updates for you right here on ESPN.
Chelsea has had a rocky start to 2026, with a recent managerial change and some unexpected results. The club parted ways with Enzo Maresca, and under the interim leadership of Calum McFarlane, they managed a dramatic draw against Manchester City, only to fall short against Fulham.
New manager Rosenior witnessed that defeat from the stands at Craven Cottage, and now he's ready to lead his team into their FA Cup opening match against Charlton Athletic.
But here's where it gets interesting... Charlton, currently 19th in the Championship, hasn't tasted victory since December 20th. It seems like an easy debut for Rosenior, right? Well, not so fast! The FA Cup has a history of surprises, as we saw earlier today with Maccesfield's win over Crystal Palace.
So, will Chelsea sail through, or will Charlton pull off an upset? Join us for live updates and find out!
