Cardiff vs Chelsea live stream promises a hugely entertaining match as the Bluebirds look to knock out Enzo Maresca’s side in this Carabao Cup quarter-final.
It has been an impressive run to this stage for Cardiff. Early round wins against lower league opposition Swindon and Cheltenham have been backed up by eye-catching results against Burnley and most recently Welsh rivals Wrexham, who they defeated 2-1 thanks to goals from Yousef Salech and William Fish. Now they face their toughest test yet against the Blues, but confidence will be high after a five-game winning streak in the league. They also boast a recent enemy of Chelsea in Callum Robinson, who has scored five goals in three appearances against the Londoners.
For Chelsea, the focus will be on solving the task professionally. Anything less than a comfortable passage to the semi-finals would be considered devastating for Enzo Maresca, who has endured a difficult run in recent weeks. The Italian has already confirmed that he will make changes to his starting XI for this game, with Cole Palmer rested after returning for the game against Everton on Saturday. Moisés Caicedo could be recalled, while Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella could be given a breather ahead of a busy Christmas period.
