Chelsea looking to pick themselves up and move on to the next round
It was bound to end at some point. Interestingly, Chelsea's winning streak started following a loss to a London rival, Arsenal, back in September. And it was yet another London rival, Tottenham, who denied the Blues a chance to make history by winning 14 straight games in one season. That also means that the Gunners' overall record of 14 games, which they achieved between February and August 2002 is still intact. Curiously enough, it was Chelsea who ended Tottenham's title challenge last season by holding them to a 2-2 draw, so Spurs' 2-0 win in a very entertaining game last week definitely must have been that much more sweet for Tottenham fans.
In any case, Antonio Conte's side don't have much time to mope over this result. Given the gulf in class between the two sides, the Italian tactican could opt to make some major changes in his starting XI. Kurt Zouma is expected to feature after missing out since last year following a knee injury in February. In fact, his entire starting XI is expected to look dramatically different than the one that featured against Tottenham, with players like Branislav Ivanovic and Michy Batshuayi given rare opportunities to feature from the start.
As for their upcoming opponents Peterborough United have shipped five goals during each of their last two meetings with Chelsea (5-1 back in 1965 and 5-0 in 2001), so they're expected to hunker down and try to absorb as much pressure as possible. Whilst they will try their utmost best to keep the score-line as low as possible, the Blues are obviously expected to come out on top here and move on to the next round.
