Chelsea have released their starting eleven for today's EFL Cup encounter against Cardiff City via a post on their official X account . The Blues confirmed that Malo Gusto, who was named Man of the Match in their 2-0 win over Everton , will not start.
In goal, Jorgensen replaces Robert Sanchez, who has enjoyed an impressive resurgence this season and currently boasts the highest number of clean sheets after a difficult campaign last year. Defensive changes also see Tosin return to the lineup alongside Benoit Badiashile, despite criticism from some fans following Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Atalanta .
Hato and Achempong are set to operate as left and right backs respectively, while Moises Caicedo returns from suspension to partner Andrey Santos in defensive midfield.
