The Carabao Cup quarter-finals begin in south Wales tonight. Chelsea make the trip to Cardiff showing 11 changes as they look to become the first team to book their spot in the last four and quieten some of the noise around the club that has arisen following Enzo Maresca’s recent remarks. Following a victory over Everton that ended their four-game winless run, the Blues boss made headlines by revealing that he had endured “the worst 48 hours” of his reign amid a lack of “support”, but would not elaborate any further.

It has led to speculation over Maresca’s future at Chelsea, who are without Cole Palmer this evening as he continues to be carefully managed upon his return from injury. Marc Cucurella is suspended, though Moises Caicedo starts after his own ban as the visitors ring the changes. Looking to heap more uncertainty on Chelsea is a Cardiff side managed by Brian Barry-Murphy, a former colleague of Maresca’s at Manchester City.

The Bluebirds sit four points clear at the League One summit and have shocked the likes of Burnley and Wrexham to reach this stage, though are without Chelsea loanee Omari Kellyman as they swap five. Follow Cardiff vs Chelsea live below!
