Mauricio Pochettino’s men travel to Middlesbrough to take on Michael Carrick’s side in the first leg of their Copa Carabao semifinals. The Blues are the favorites to make it to the final, although anything can happen in such a competition and taking into account that Chelsea have been struggling to find regularity for quite a long time now.

Chelsea, who are sitting 10th in the Premier League table and haven’t won the Carabao Cup since 2015, will be looking to emulate their last performance, when they thrashed Preston at home in the FA Cup.

“It’s important for Chelsea to win games and trophies. We have in front a very good opportunity (to reach a final). We were talking today (on Monday) with the players, it’s about first to perform on Tuesday if we want to reach the final”, Pochettino said in the pre-match press conference.
