Chelsea return to Carabao Cup action tonight still desperate for a win to help lift the gloom around Stamford Bridge. The Blues' second-round victory over fourth-tier AFC Wimbledon was one of just two from seven matches across all competitions so far this season amid a torrid start to life back in English football for manager Mauricio Pochettino, who makes five changes this evening as he looks to spark a reaction from his struggling side.
Most frustrated Chelsea fans would probably just settle for a goal or two at this point after watching their team go three games in a row now without scoring. They were made to pay for their ill-discipline here on Sunday when Aston Villa condemned them to yet another dismal home defeat after right-back Malo Gusto saw his yellow card for a poor challenge on Lucas Digne upgraded to red following a VAR review.
