Team News

Chelsea
Middlesbrough
  • Ben Chilwell may make his first start since September on Tuesday night having featured off the bench against Fulham last time out.
  • No fewer than seven players are absent for Chelsea owing to injury, while Nicolas Jackson is on international duty.
  • Armando Broja, who has been linked with a move away this month, should lead the charge.
  • Middlesbrough will hope to have Isaiah Jones available for selection after he came off early on in the 1-1 draw with Rotherham.
  • Luke Ayling and Sam Greenwood are both ineligible for Boro here, while Sam Silvera, Riley McGree and Seny Dieng are on international duty.
  • Marcus Forss may lead the line for Boro with Emmanuel Latte Lath one of four players sidelined due to injury.

Prediction

  • Chelsea have it all to do at Stamford Bridge following their 1-0 first leg loss at the Riverside earlier this month. The Blues have at least won six on the bounce at Stamford Bridge.
  • Middlesbrough are unbeaten in three coming into Tuesday's second leg meeting with the Blues, though were held to a 1-1 draw by Championship table footers Rotherham over the weekend. Boro have won four of their last five on the road, the only mark on the record book incidentally coming at Rotherham back on Boxing Day.
  • Having put in a lacklustre display in the first leg, expect the Blues to book their Carabao Cup final spot in midweek.
