Carabao Cup R3 Draw | Chelsea (H)

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Sterling is guaranteed to score a worldie isn’t he.

He'll be trying to, to prove a point. As to whether he succeeds, that's entirely another matter.

Set up nicely for dippers again.

Set up nicely for dippers again.

To be fair, we’ve been pretty lucky in avoiding very tough draws in the early rounds of the domestic cups for a few years now. Law of averages said that we were due something a little less straightforward.
But could have been worse - we’re at home and Chelsea have got brutal fixtures either side of the tie.

I was referring to the whole draw. Mainly Prem v Prem. Next rounds will have incredibly few Prem sides left in it.

Absolutely brilliant draw for us this.

Don't get me wrong, I love winning ANY trophy but we've won this a lot recently and I get the feeling that Pep isn't treating this the same as the other trophies now if I'm honest.

My ideal draw would be Chelsea - which we've got, then Liverpool. If we beat those two then we've a very good chance of winning the cup. If we go out now then we've got some extra dates spare to concentrate on the FA, PL and CL.

I don't think Sterling would play, but to be honest I'd like to see him play against us. I want to see if he was as good - or bad - as I remember him being. I think when he plays against us, we'll probably see what we're missing. However, I think we've enough quality to keep him quiet and remind him of what he's missing.

When we first won it, in 1969/70, we played Livarpool and Everton in consecutive rounds, with the semi being against the rags home and away.
No big deal.

Home tie, big club, probably cheap, perfect!

Why is that set up for Liverpool and not us?

They have Derby we have Chelsea. Suspect their odds of progressing are much much higher...
