"Chelsea are aiming to avoid becoming the third team to suffer a shock against Cardiff City in this season's EFL Cup when the Premier League side visit the Bluebirds on Tuesday. The hosts are top of League One and have won 2-1 at top-flight strugglers Burnley and Championship club Wrexham in their last two ties in the competition. The Blues, who have won the EFL Cup five times, ended a four-match winless run in all competitions with a 2-0 victory at home to Everton"
"Rubin Colwill won the player of the round award for Cardiff's win at Wrexham but the 23-year-old Wales attacking midfielder is out following ankle surgery, while defender Ronan Kpakio is suspended for two bookings in this season's competition. Ollie Tanner has returned to full training after being out for four months with an ankle injury sustained when he hit an advertising hoarding at AFC Wimbledon, but the winger is not expected to play until January."
Cardiff, top of League One, host Chelsea in the EFL Cup after consecutive cup wins including 2-1 victories at Burnley and Wrexham. Chelsea, five-time EFL Cup winners, returned to winning ways with a 2-0 home victory over Everton, ending a four-match winless run. Rubin Colwill, the player of the round, is sidelined after ankle surgery and defender Ronan Kpakio is suspended for two bookings. Ollie Tanner has resumed training after a four-month ankle layoff but is unlikely to feature until January. Cardiff’s recent 4-3 league victory featured a 99th-minute Joel Bagan winner and a triple substitution.
