Kai Havertz has only played two games for his new club and the German youngster is already being labeled in the media as a bad purchase in many places. The ex-Leverkusen man has not been able to convince so far, but was also used incorrectly. At the start against Brighton, the international came over the right side; at home against Liverpool, the lightweight should assert itself against defensive edges like Fabinho and Van Dijk in the front line.

Although the league cup has the lowest priority among the top teams on the island compared to the league, European Cup and FA Cup, this competition is about a lot of prestige and a very important title. Should the Blues prevail at Stamford Bridge, a London derby would wait in the next round against Tottenham, provided the Spurs have the upper hand against fourth division Leyton Orient on Tuesday.

In the preseason, however, it was the end of round four against Manchester United. Nevertheless, one can state that the six-time English champion takes the competition very seriously and has not shown any weakness, especially against lower-class opponents in recent years. The past ten knockouts were only against rivals from the Premier League.

Although the priorities of coach Frank Lampard in the recently started season are also primarily on the Premier League and the Champions League, the Carabao Cup offers a welcome opportunity to test at competitive level and above all to introduce the younger players to the team. At the same time, it is about regaining confidence and giving the professionals a good feeling for the tasks ahead.

We assume that the coach will spare one or the other service provider. Since the Blues are extremely strong this season and, especially at this early point in the season, all players aim to recommend themselves, a focused and motivated performance of the favorite in their own stadium can be expected.

Barnsley:
When the 2019/20 championship season had to be interrupted in March, Barnsley FC had their backs to the wall as the penultimate in the standings.

Started with the aim of being able to survive the 20/21 season with a little less worry, the red-whites are back in the table basement after two matchdays.
The "Tykes” conceded bankruptcies against Luton Town (0: 1) and Reading (0: 2) on the past two weekends and remained without a goal of their own. Things went better in the EFL Cup, where Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough were eliminated.

Nonetheless, the enormous difference in quality, the lack of form according to the latest impressions and the disadvantage of having to compete in London are indications that make a prediction of the underdog between Chelsea and Barnsley seem very unlikely. The home game on Saturday is more important, when the first three-pointer is to be bagged against Coventry City. It is not for nothing that Coach Struber calls the Chelsea match a "bonus game”.
