Lincoln have made a really solid start to the season and should not be underestimated here. They’ve avoided defeat in eight of their nine games in League One so far this season and look to be a side that can make a push for the play-offs this year, after finishing 17 points off the pace last season.
They haven’t lost at home in League One this season, with three wins and two draws from their five outings. They’ll take confidence from the fact that Chelsea aren’t in their best moment with back-to-back defeats on the road, which is something that Lincoln can look to take advantage of.
Lincoln claimed a 1-0 win over Burton on the road to set up this tie against Chelsea, which is a real chance for the Imps to build on their early-season momentum and claim the scalp of one of the biggest sides in English football.
🔵 Chelsea Seek Convincing Response After Back-to-Back Defeats
It’s been a bit messy at Chelsea over the last few weeks. It can look like it’s always messy at Chelsea from the outside looking in, but the Blues have managed to find real consistency over the last six months, which has just unravelled a little recently with back-to-back defeats against Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
The manner of those defeats will be what frustrates Maresca the most. Both losses were of Chelsea’s own making; it was a story of mistakes in Munich followed by a tale of petulance in Manchester - both issues that Chelsea have been facing since the new ownership arrived and instilled a philosophy based around youth.
Chelsea will make changes here, but it would be a real disaster if Chelsea were to come away with anything other than a convincing win. This is a trophy that Chelsea can win; it would be a real disappointment if they were to crash out at this early stage against League One opponents.
