Frank Lampard's Derby County have already beaten Manchester United but he now returns to Chelsea hoping to cause another Carabao Cup upset. Chelsea will be a tougher nut to crack  as they are in top form at present, whatever level of line-up they put on the field. The Londoners are unbeaten in their last 14 games since losing the Community Shield. They have scored seven goals in their last two games and twelve in the last four, They are unbeaten at home this season and even if they leave out some of their best players, there are plenty more to come in and win this game.

Derby caused the big upset in the last round but this looks tougher. They are sixth in the Championship, four points behind league leaders Sheffield United and unbeaten in their last six matches. Over 90 minutes they only have one win in their last six away games and haven't kept  a clean sheet in any of their last eight games. That defense is going to face a massive task to keep Chelsea at bay and it's unlikely to happen. Go for Chelsea to get the win and be ahead at both half and full time.
