Blackburn boss Tomasson: Let's test the millionaires of Chelsea

Blackburn Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson admits he'll play his fringe players tonight at Carabao Cup opponents Chelsea.

But he insists the team he'll field is capable of an upset.

"It's a good chance for the players who need a chance, because they deserve a chance," he said.

"Everyone knows that I use the squad players in the cup matches, and now they have a challenge in London away against Chelsea with more than 3000 Rovers fans behind them. What a day!

"It's one of those games where everyone expects you to lose. But there is always a chance of victory and if we win that game then it will be one of those magical moments.

"It happened last year when we were the favourite killers against West Ham and Leicester. It's a good chance to test the top millionaires from the Premier League against the young guys from the Championship."
