Chelsea are among the Premier League clubs on upset alert in the Carabao Cup this week, as the six teams competing in this season’s Champions League begin their domestic cup campaigns.
We’ve already seen Manchester United succumb to League Two opposition, while Nottingham Forest surrendered a two-goal lead away at Swansea City last week. Something may well be in the air this term.
Chelsea have generally done a pretty good job of avoiding cup shocks since they were stunned at home by Bradford City in the FA Cup a decade ago, but they haven’t won this trophy in 10 years.
Enzo Maresca is blessed with an immensely deep squad thanks to BlueCo’s relentless player trading, and the Italian will likely make plenty of changes to the side that was beaten 2–1 at United on Saturday, which means the Blues are three games without a win in all competitions.
A high-flying Lincoln City have a history of impressive cup runs, but only twice before have they reached the fourth round of the League Cup. Victory for the hosts on Tuesday night would be a mammoth result.
Here’s how to tune into the action.
