Blues chase turnaround
Chelsea lost 1-0 in the first leg of this Carabao Cup semi-final and they need to perform on Tuesday to avoid an embarrassing upset. The Blues have strung together a great run of form at Stamford Bridge, winning five of their last six at home.
The Blues are backed to see off Championship opposition, but they meet a Middlesbrough side who have proven to be a threat. Boro have scored 15 times across their six Carabao Cup ties, five of which have been on the road. They’ve scored at least twice in each of those five ties, so they should trouble the Blues.
Chelsea aren’t looking that reliable and they were lucky to escape with just a 1-0 defeat at the Riverside so I have little faith in their backline. Look to the Blues to concede as they push to get back in the tie, but they’ve got enough up front to better a Middlesbrough side who have conceded in six of their last seven.
