We begin our third competition of the season with a third round match in the Carabao Cup (League Cup) against fourth division side Barrow AFC. Chelsea are clear favourites in this match and are expected to win, and comfortably at that. But beware of the magic of the cup!
Enzo Maresca has rotated his team as expected, although the newly fit Malo Gusto is a surprise starter. Cesare Casadei also gets a start, while Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and a number of young players are on the bench.
