Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon to look back at Chelsea’s disappointing defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and look ahead to the FA Cup tie on Sunday against Newcastle.
In a very disappointing evening when Arsenal knocked us out of the Carabao Cup, was it all down to Willian getting injured and two lucky deflected goals or is it symptomatic of the lack of squad depth and quality and the pervading negativity around the club at the moment?
Looking back to the match against Brighton, Kerry was impressed with the performance especially those of Hazard and Willian, ranking as one of our best this season. With Big Willy Caballero putting in a somewhat kamikze performance Kerry believes that he’s a better keeper than he appears.
With Newcastle visiting Chelsea on Sunday, this FA Cup tie has grown in importance as Chelsea’s most realistic chance of a trophy this season. But will Conte put out his strongest side from who is available, and will this be good enough to beat Newcastle?
