Cardiff vs. Chelsea: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Action Live
Chelsea look to prevent a massive shock on Tuesday evening as they make the trip to League One outfit Cardiff City for their Carabao Cup quarterfinal clash.
Enzo Maresca's squad has celebrated a successful year filled with silverware, capturing both the Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup crowns, though the Italian manager is still seeking his maiden domestic honor with the Blues. The Carabao Cup offers a prime chance to accomplish this goal.
Chelsea have received the most advantageous draw among the four Carabao Cup quarterfinal ties, meeting the sole non-Premier League team from the third division. Defeating Cardiff should not pose significant challenges for the Blues given their abundant talent and resources.
Cardiff have already eliminated Premier League opposition in this tournament, yet overcoming Burnley differs vastly from defeating the reigning world champions. Barry Brian-Murphy and his squad will require an exceptional display plus considerable luck to secure passage to the semifinals.
Here's your guide to watching this fascinating encounter between the Bluebirds and the Blues.
