FACTFILE
Chelsea have won the League Cup five times in their history, last picking up the trophy in 2015 under Jose Mourinho.
After going three games in a row without scoring a goal, Chelsea netted four in their previous fixture against Brighton.
Our last League Cup win against Chelsea came in 1998, where we were 2-1 winners at Highbury thanks to goals from Marc Overmars and Stephen Hughes.
KEY MAN: Eden Hazard
With 11 goals in competitions so far this season, Eden Hazard has hit a purple patch heading into Wednesday night’s game.
The Belgian forward is dangerous at the best of times, but following Chelsea’s 4-0 demolition of Brighton, where he picked up a brace, we must be especially on guard.
Since his arrival in West London, Hazard has been at the centre of all of Chelsea’s title wins and will be key if they are to pick up their sixth League Cup.
