Life begins for Chelsea under the new leadership of Liam Rosenior on Saturday, as the former Strasbourg coach takes the reins in West London. His first game is against Championship team Charlton in a capital derby cup clash.

Rosenior, who was named as Enzo Maresca's replacement earlier this week, will be hoping for a more positive experience after watching Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to local rival Fulham from the directors' box on Wednesday.

Standing in the way of a winning start for the Blues' new boss is a Charlton team sitting uncomfortably close to the Championship relegation zone in 19th. Nathan Jones' Addicks have just one win in their last 11 matches.

Charlton Athletic takes on Chelsea at The Valley on Saturday, Jan. 10. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, which is 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 7 a.m. AEDT in Australia early on Sunday morning.
