Chelsea will be hoping to avoid an early exit as they welcome Barnsley to Stamford Bridge for their first Carabao Cup tie of the season.

Frank Lampard is likely to hand new signings Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell their debuts after recovering in time to make the matchday squad.

The tie comes too soon for Hakim Ziyech though, with the Moroccan still recovering from a knock he suffered during a pre-season fixture against Barnsley.

Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek may get a chance to impress after finding first-team opportunities limited since returning from serious Achilles injuries.

Having watched Premier League rivals Manchester United secure their progress on Tuesday, Lampard will be keen for his side to do a professional job against Barnsley.
