Liam Rosenior will take charge of Chelsea for the first time in Saturday evening's FA Cup third round clash away at Charlton Athletic.

The 41-year-old left Strasbourg to become the Blues' new permanent boss earlier this week and was watching from the stands as his side fell to a 2-1 defeat away at West London rivals Fulham on Wednesday.

The trip to the Valley offers Rosenior a chance to make a winning start at his new club away from the pressure of the Premier League but having cut his teeth in the EFL, he'll know not to underestimate the hosts.

Nathan Jones will be keen for his Charlton side to capitalise on the recent chaos at Chelsea in what is set to be the South London club's highest attended FA Cup game in 50 years.

The Addicks, who are 19th in the table in their first season back in the Championship, last faced the Blues in 2007, when both clubs were in the Premier League.
