Chelsea will aim to give boss Enzo Maresca a morale-boosting victory when they take on third-tier Cardiff City in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Maresca’s pre-match press conference on Monday was peppered with questions regarding his cryptic remarks following the weekend’s win over Everton and the Italian continues to cut a frustrated figure at Stamford Bridge.
The victory against the Toffees ended a four-game winless streak and the Blues will travel to South Wales with confidence.
Cardiff are doing well, however, as they look to make an immediate return to the Championship, with Saturday’s latest home win over Doncaster Rovers their fifth successive Championship victory.
