Name The Starting XI – Derby (H) – Carabao Cup

|

This Wednesday evening, Chelsea resume their Carabao Cup campaign with a home tie.

But this is no ordinary tie.

On Wednesday evening, Frank Lampard will emerge from the Stamford Bridge tunnel, for the first time, as the manager of the opposition.

I doubt whether any other opposition manager will get the kind of reception that Frank, a Chelsea legend, will receive, it should be pretty emotional for all concerned.

But, once the game commences, sentiment will go out of the window as Chelsea look to reach the next round of a competition, they believe they can do well in.

However, with the fixtures coming thick and fast, it’ll be interesting to see who Maurizio Sarri selects for his starting eleven.
