Blues through to Quarters of league cup after unconvincing win

Chelsea are through to the Quarter finals of the League Cup after an unconvincing 5-4 victory against Manchester United. The fact that the Blues needed almost a full strength team to achieve the victory against a young United side is a worry for the Blues, but it was enough to avoid a 3rd straight loss.Chelsea started with Piazon,Moses and Mata in the attacking midfield ,with Sturridge starting as the lone front man in the absence of Torres. There were starts for Cesar Azpilicueta and Bertrand at the wing backs and for Romeu in the central midfield. In an uninspiring performance, Chelsea went behind 3 times and needed a last minute penalty from Hazard to take the match to extra time. Chelsea will face Leeds United away in the next round.

Chelsea Team for the match: Cech,Azpilicueta,Cahill,Luiz,Bertrand,Romeu,Mikel,Moses,Mata,Piazon,Sturridge
Subs- Ramires for Mikel(h/t),Hazard for Piazon(55'),Oscar for Romeu(71')
