Chelsea have been ordered to change the mood and target Carabao Cup glory as they face Albion.

The sides meet in a third-round tie at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

Chelsea go into the game off a 1-0 home defeat by Aston Villa to continue their underwhelming start to the season.

They have no European honours to aim for and will not be involved in the title race.

But Chelsea boss Pochettino is keen to pick up silverware.

 

He said: "It is one of our objectives in this season. We need to think this is one opportunity to win a trophy.

"Maybe the feelings after the defeat on Sunday are not the best but I feel it is about to move on to get the players the confidence and the trust.

"It is a different competition and we need to change our mood. Yesterday and today we were talking a lot - trying to breathe more confidence into the team - and I think we are going to be ready for tomorrow."

Chelsea have struggled for goals and Pochettino said: “We are not clinical.

“That is what we need to try to fix and to give more confidence to our offensive players. That is the responsibility of everyone.

"In all the other data I think we are in a very positive [state], but the most important thing is to score goals. You don't score goals you cannot win games."

Pochettino confirmed former Albion skipper Bruno has left Chelsea.

He said: "He didn't belong to my coaching staff - it's the best decision for him and for sure the club."

It is understood Bruno left Chelsea on good terms before the season started.
