The one thing on Chelsea fans' minds ahead of Manchester United Carabao Cup clash

There is just one word of Chelsea fans mind ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against Manchester United on Wednesday evening - revenge.

The Blues take on Ole Gunnar Solkjaer's men in the Round of 16 stage of the competition and Frank Lampard's men welcome them to Stamford Bridge in the second meeting of the season between the two sides.

The first meeting was in the opening Premier League game of the season, and didn't quite go to plan for Chelsea as Manchester United came out as 4-0 winners thanks to goals from Anthony Martial, Daniel James and a brace from Marcus Rashford.

The defeat was a reality check for Lampard's men and they have since kicked on and opened up a seven point gap between them and the Red Devils in the Premier League table.

The Blues go into the League Cup match in brilliant form, winning their last seven games in all competitions, including a 4-2 win over Burnley in their last Premier League outing.

In contrast, Man Utd recorded their first Premier League win in five attempts on Sunday when they beat Norwich City 3-1, despite seeing two penalties saved.
