Chelsea are aiming to avoid the mightiest of upsets on Tuesday night when they travel to League One side Cardiff City in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.
Enzo Maresca’s men have enjoyed a trophy-laden calendar year which has seen them scoop the Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup titles, but the Italian still awaits his first domestic trophy as Blues boss. The Carabao Cup presents an excellent opportunity to change that.
Chelsea have been handed the most favourable of all four Carabao Cup quarterfinal matches, facing the only non-Premier League side and third tier opposition. Overcoming Cardiff shouldn’t prove too difficult for the Blues and their wealth of riches.
Cardiff have already beaten Premier League adversaries in the competition, but toppling Burnley is entirely different to conquering the world champions. Barry Brian-Murphy and his players will need the perfect performance and a healthy slice of fortune to clinch a spot in the last four.
Here is how to watch an intriguing between the Bluebirds and the Blues.
