Chelsea host Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
The match comes following a string of impressive performances by the Blues, including their most recent game against Spurs.
N’Golo Kante inspired Chelsea to a statement 3-0 win at Tottenham after coming on at half-time during their weekend match.
After being unhappy with what he saw in the first half in north London, coach Thomas Tuchel sent on Kante at the break and it paid immediate dividends as Chelsea scored two goals in the opening 12 minutes of the second half.
Kante scored the second, after Thiago Silva’s opener, and Antonio Rudiger added a third in injury-time as Chelsea ended the weekend on top of the Premier League.
Focus now turns to whether the Blues can mount a cup run as they play in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the game.

Team news for Chelsea vs Aston Villa
Edouard Mendy will miss Chelsea’s Carabao Cup clash with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
The Senegal goalkeeper is still battling a hip complaint, and will face a race against time to be fit for Saturday’s Premier League encounter with Manchester City.
Christian Pulisic will also be a doubt as the USA forward continues to shake off an ankle issue.
Emi Buendia could return for Aston Villa’s trip to Stamford Bridge.

John McGinn is likely to miss out after coming off against the Toffees with a concussion with Leon Bailey unlikely to be risked after a quad injury while Trezeguet (knee) is a long-term absentee.
