Current form: Chelsea vs Derby County
Chelsea have only lost one game all season so far under Maurizio Sarri. That was a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the curtain-raiser during the Community Shield, and since then, the Blues have gone ten matches unbeaten in the Premier League (seven wins, three draws) as well as picked up all nine points from their first three Europa League group stage games. In addition, the London powerhouse earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over fellow Premier League giant Liverpool in the last round of the League Cup to set up their upcoming clash with Derby County, but they certainly will be very wary of the visiting minnows.
Why? Well, Derby County, famously knocked Manchester United out in the previous round via penalties, and the team, led by none other than Chelsea icon Frank Lampard, will certainly be hoping to pull off another major upset at Lampard's former home stadium. The League Cup is clearly a competition many smaller sides take seriously as it realistically presents a great chance at winning some silverware and gives them a chance to test their mettle against the bigger sides in the league.
Team news: Chelsea vs Derby County
Eden Hazard is a definite absentee due to a back injury sustained during Chelsea's draw against Manchester United, while Pedro could also miss out due to a stomach issue.
