Chelsea got back to winning ways midweek beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup fourth round, but the vibes weren’t exactly immaculate afterwards. The team threatened to give away a 3-0 lead against the worst team in the Premier League, and then Liam Delap had a bit of a headrush and got himself sent off. We sure love a red card these days.
But all that can be forgotten immediately with three points against Spurs this weekend.
Or it could be exacerbated further without those three points.
Thankfully, we did manage to rest most of our key players — if not for a full-90, at least for a good portion of the game on Wednesday — so we should have a bit more energy than we showed last weekend against Sunderland at home. Delap’s suspended (just the one game, as things stand), but otherwise it’s only the quartet of injured who are unavailable (Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Benoît Badiashile, and Dário Essugo).
