Carabao Cup fourth round draw: How to watch, Chelsea's ball number, potential opponents | OneFootball

Chelsea will discover their Carabao Cup fate when the fourth round draw takes place on Wednesday evening.

Enzo Maresca's side suffered a scare on Tuesday as Chelsea came from behind to claim a 2-1 win over League One side Lincoln City.

A dismal first half was corrected swiftly in the second half as two quick-fire goals in the opening five minutes from Tyrique George and Facundo Buonanotte proved enough to seal the Blues' progression.

Now they head into the fourth round, where they were knocked out last season by Newcastle United, so Maresca's Blues will be keen to improve this year.

The Chelsea head coach believes his team will be better prepared in the fourth round should they face a side below the Premier League.

Maresca reflected: "Sometimes it's about desire, but it's about experience. Jamie Gittens never played in this kinds of games, Jorrel the same. It's more about desire and we struggled in the first-half. If the next game in Carabao is against a League One or Two team away, for sure tonight's experience will be good."

Fourth round ties are scheduled to be played in the week commencing October 27.
