Game day in Middlesbrough for the first leg of the semi final of the EFL Cup between Middlesbrough & Chelsea.

Middlesbrough will be without Finn Azaz, Sam Greenwood, Samuel Rivera, McGree, Dieng, Tom Smith, Lenihan, O'Brien, Forss & McNair.

Chelsea on their side will be without Nicolas Jackson, Reece James, Fofana, Cucurella, Sanchez, Ugochukwu, Chalobah & Lavia. Chilwell, Chkwuemeka, Badiashile & Nkunku are doubtful.

Middlesbrough is a team from the Championship, with the rank 12 with 11 wins, 3 draws & 12 losses for 38 goals scored & 39 goals conceded.

Chelsea is ranked 10 in PL with 8 wins, 4 draws & 8 losses for 34 goals scored & 31 goals conceded. Chelsea's season is already over in PL with such a gap with the top 5.

Their goal is the FA Cup & EFL Cup so I expect them to go seriously for this game against a Borough team who hasn't anything special and will be in trouble with their missings.

Chelsea's possible 11 : Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Gallagher, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sterling; Broja

Even if we might see Nkunku fit as regarding the last news, he was just resting to be at 100%.

I expect 1-2 or 0-2.

联赛杯半决赛首回合比赛在米德尔斯堡进行，对手是米德尔斯堡和切尔西。

米德尔斯堡将失去芬恩·阿扎兹、萨姆·格林伍德、塞缪尔·里维拉、麦克格里、迪昂、汤姆·史密斯、勒尼汉、奥布莱恩、福斯和麦克奈尔。

切尔西将失去尼古拉斯-杰克逊、里斯-詹姆斯、福法纳、库库雷拉、桑切斯、乌戈楚库乌、查洛巴和拉维亚。奇尔维尔、奇库梅卡、巴迪亚希尔和恩昆库都不确定。

米德尔斯堡是一支来自英冠联赛的球队，排名12,11胜3平12负，进38球失39球。

切尔西在英超联赛中以8胜4平8负的成绩排名第10，进34球失31球。切尔西本赛季在英超已经结束，与前5名的差距如此之大。

他们的目标是足总杯和联赛杯，所以我希望他们认真对待这场比赛，对手是一支没有什么特别之处的自治市镇球队，他们将会因为缺阵而陷入困境。

切尔西可能的11人:佩特洛维奇;Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Colwill;加拉格尔,费尔南德斯;马杜克，帕尔默，斯特林;Broja

即使我们在最后的新闻中看到恩昆库的健康，他也只是在休息，以达到100%的状态。

我估计是1-2或者0-2。
