Last games
Due to the difference in the two teams' levels, where Chelsea is in the Premier League and is the current UEFA Champions League champion, while Chesterfield is in the fifth division, this will be the first time that the two clubs will meet on the field of play.
Key player Chesterfield
Goalkeeper Scott Loach is one of the most experienced players of the team with 33 years of age, so his leadership in the low sector in front of the constant arrivals that they will have to prevent will be key in order to concede the least amount of goals in this historic match.
Key player Chelsea
Before the midweek match against Tottenham, there will surely be a rotation in the squad, but this game will help players like Mason Mount, who at any moment with his versatility can change the history of the game.
