Chelsea’s Carabao Cup campaign begins away at League One outfit Lincoln City on Tuesday night, with the Blues entering the cup tie off the back of a Premier League defeat.
Their Old Trafford woes persisted in some style on Saturday evening, as they played the majority of their 2–1 defeat with ten men after Robert Sánchez’s early dismissal. Casemiro’s sending off later rendered the contest a ten-on-ten affair, but Chelsea were, by then, 2–0 down and could only score what would prove to be a late consolation through Trevoh Chalobah.
