"Turning their attention back to EFL Cup action on Tuesday night, Chelsea will look to punch their semi-final ticket when they travel to Cardiff. Claiming what was a much-welcomed boost over the weekend as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Everton, Enzo Maresca's men are desperate to now find some crucial stability ahead of a stacked winter schedule."
"Collecting a heavyweight Champions League scalp on November 25th as they stormed their way to an empathic 3-0 victory against Barcelona, Chelsea found themselves in the midst of a real flurry. However, suffering a four-match winless rut on either side of opening December, it had been suggested that Maresca had once again found some increasing pressure on his shoulders. Claiming an essential boost over the weekend as they secured a 2-0 win at home against Everton, Chelsea will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity here."
"With it looking like EFL Cup success is their most likely route to getting their hands on a piece of silverware this season, Maresca's side do hold a dominant record against Cardiff. Including a trio of 4-1 victories, Chelsea have won all of their last five consecutive showdowns against Tuesday's hosts by an aggregate score of 16-5. Bet Builder Tip: Goal to be scored in both halves @ 4/7 with Estevao to steal centre stage"
Chelsea travel to Cardiff for an EFL Cup quarter-final with the aim of reaching the semi-finals after a 2-0 home win over Everton. Enzo Maresca's side seek stability ahead of a busy winter schedule and view the cup as their most likely chance for silverware. Chelsea carry recent momentum from a 3-0 Champions League win over Barcelona but endured a four-match winless spell around early December. Cardiff enjoy strong League One form and prepare to relish the cup tie at home. Chelsea hold a dominant recent record over Cardiff and may rotate the squad, giving fringe attackers opportunities.
