Chelsea hosts Barnsley in the English EFL Cup 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 23rd at Stamford Bridge (London)
Frank Lampard's Chelsea is a truly amazing team, which, in general, is fully consistent with the head coach himself, who continues to field Kepa, despite all his goalkeeper mistakes. The last match with Liverpool was no exception, and Kepa continued to work “miracles”. The central defender Christensen decided that one half was enough for him, after which he picked up a red card and left the field, and Jorginho decided not to score a penalty, although there could well have been a draw in that match.

Everything is stable for Barnsley - the middle peasant of the Championship remains as such, and there is absolutely nothing to add or subtract. Two defeats in the first rounds, a zone of the struggle for survival, and a completely familiar tournament position, which this team has approximately the same from year to year. And the team itself continues to perform at the level at which it has been performing for many years, without any significant changes.
Chelsea has something to lose and prove in this match because very big questions will definitely arise for Frank Lampard. Therefore, the Blues have absolutely nothing left to do but show their class and gain an equally convincing victory. In England, it is not customary not to field reserve lineups in cup matches, and the competition regulations contribute to this. Therefore, the difference in class will be quite obvious, and if Kepa does not throw a couple of balls into his net on his own, then Chelsea's victory with a goal difference of a couple of goals will be a completely natural result of this match.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with -1.5 handicap
