Carabao Cup R3 Draw | Chelsea (H)

Due to our very small squad, Phillips and Ake injured and Laporte still out, I'd say for Pep to play the kids.

However he won't, he'll play the strongest side even though it might to lead to injuries and tiredness. Plus we let most of our better kids go on loan or sold them.
 
I will never say this in any other season… I wouldn’t mind going out of the EFL and FA Cups in the first round of entry this season because of the World Cup.
 
In some ways it’s the perfect draw. Our squad depth is such that we have little choice but to focus on the big two competitions. The domestic cups are going to see a raft of changes, plenty of minutes for kids, and not much disappointment if we go out. It’s not really ‘throwing’ it, as some will call it, as we’ll be trying to win. But we’ll be trying to win with a team that will be far less likely to win. So Chelsea is a team that fits the bill for not being a big deal/embarrassing if we lose but on the flip side, it opens up the draw nicely if we do actually win.
