Liam Rosenior takes charge of his first Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge this evening, and the Blues head coach has made eight changes to his side for our Carabao Cup semi-final first leg clash against Arsenal.
The 41-year-old got off to a winning start on Saturday, overseeing a convincing 5-1 victory over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round.
We remain on cup duty this evening as we look to establish a first-leg advantage in our semi-final against London rivals Arsenal.
Robert Sanchez returns in goal for the Blues and is set to be protected by a back four of Josh Acheampong, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella.
Moises Caicedo is absent as he serves a one-match suspension. Enzo Fernandez, who captains the Blues, returns to our midfield and will be partnered by Andrey Santos.
