I know someone's already said its not on TV anywhere and this might be a daft question but last season was so long ago and I think I've blocked it out as a result.

Do they do a MOTD for the league cup rounds with the highlights/goals?

Yeah not sure if they bother with the early rounds? ITV will be your best bet.

 

*Edit* - It will be on Wednesday Channel 5 at 11pm. Although I imagine the goals would be available on Sky Sports before then.

I'm hoping to see something like this:

 

                                      Begovic

   Aina                Cahill                   Ivanovic           Azpi

                                       Kante

                         Ruben                 Nate

Moses                                                             Hazard 

                                     Batshuayi

 

I don't think he'll start both Nate and Loftus but it'd make for a nice change. I think Aina, Moses and possibly Batshuayi ar 100% going to start this game.

Seeing as Miazg/Kenedy aren't in the 25 man squad, does that mean we can't actually use them in our team this season/while they haven't found a loan home yet?

So... No broadcast?

Thanks! That's perfect although you're right, they'll probably be on before then elsewhere but I'll set it to record just in case!

I don't think they count as U21 players but I think they're eligible to play in the league cup / EFL Trophy? I could be mistaken.

I'm hoping to see something like this:

 

                                      Begovic

   Aina                Cahill                   Ivanovic           Azpi

                                       Kante

                         Ruben                 Nate

Moses                                                             Hazard 

                                     Batshuayi

why do you hope to see hazard and kante in this competition against lower league opposition when 3 days later we have a premier league game?  Considering how much we demand from them, I think it's better we have them fresh for EPL..

 

I'll go with

 

-------------------------------- Thibaut ------------------------------------

Aina ---------- Chalobah -------------- Miazga ------------- Kenedy

 

-------------------------------- Matic ---------------------------------------

 

------------------ Oscar -----------------RLC ------------------------------

 

--- Pedro --------------------------------------------------- Moses ---

 

----------------------------- Batshuayi -------------------------------------

 

 

However, it seems like the squad have been decided based on skysport information..

 

Chelsea team (from): Begovic, Baxter, Miazga, Aina, da Silva, Kane, Moses, Mikel, Chalobah, Kante, Atsu, Pedro, Bamford, Moses, Kenedy, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi.

I'm on the road again this week. Anyone have any idea if this game is due to be televised anywhere? The early league cup games are always the hardest to find streams of.

Well, if a welsh, Irish, Scot, or any other Caucasian moved to England at age 7 and represented England throughout the different youth levels, I don't think his birth place would matter in the least. After all, we had Owen Hargreaves play for England!

Ya, you stole him from us you limey bar stewards!

I'm expecting quite a few changes for tomorrow nights game, especially as from what I have seen of how managers have treated the Italian cup it is pretty much an opportunity to play a second 11.

That being said this is the 11 I would like to see:

              - Begovic - 
Aina - Miazga - JCS - Kenedy
           - Chalobah -

        Fabregas - RLC

Pedro           -           Moses
            - Batshuayi - 

Subs - Courtois, Omerou, Azpi, Kante, Oscar, Remy, Solanke 

Whilst the defence is very inexperienced we are against a team of considerable lower quality than what this team should be capable of, added to the fact that defensive cover is at a premium I wouldn't want to risk an injury at this stage of the season.

I would have liked to see Tomori given another run out with the first team but seeing as he is playing tonight for the U23s and Clarke Salter isn't it is likely JCS in the squad tomorrow.

JCS injured, Omerou going to Besiktas, unlikely Mazga and Kenedy will figure if they are touted for a loan in case they got injured.

It is more so out of hope than anything as if one of our back four get injured and all of those listed above get shifted on we are really down to bare bones

John Barnes too or even last night Mo Farah represented GB

That's my point. Not as bad as rugby though, loads of players for NZ actually played for Samoa at some stage; and that tennis player, Johanna Konta is an Aussie, got British citizenship at 21 and now represents Britain.

Hargreaves is actually Canadian...

I reckon we will see a few of the youth/fringe players but certainly nobody who was involved in the Under 23's match against Liverpool tonight. So that would rule out the likes of Da Silva and Tomori. I expect the most likely starters will be those who featured heavily in pre-season, but haven't necessarily started in the Premier League. So I will go with:

 

Begovic, 

Aina Cahill, Ivan, Azpi

Matic, Chalobah, RLC

Pedro, Batshuayi, Moses

 

The likes of Kenedy, Miazga, Atsu, and Bamford haven't featured at all recently and have been linked with loans so I don't think they will play. Maybe Jake Clarke-Salter will get a game instead of Ivan or Cahill as he didn't play today. Should be a good game. It has been a while since we've played Bristol Rovers and their team and 4000 fans will be well up for it. Conte will no doubt remind our players of that before the game.

Would like to see a blend of youth and first teamers.  If we add in Aina and Tomori at the back, then I'd like to see them both playing alongside Terry as I think he "cares" more than Cahill

 

                              Bego

Aina            Tomori        Terry          Azpi

                            Nate

                     Fab          Rubes

   Willian                                     Moses

                             Bats

Pretty much the line up I would like. But I would like to "preserve" JT. He is 36 and lets treat him like one. Home game against bristol rovers is not a match he should be playing when we are one defender away from putting in youth players in the first team.

playing 36yr old jt 3 games in a row in span of 9 days is an accident waiting to happen

How come Conte day have press conference yesterday and I hope Loftus Cheek Aina and Chalobah gets some game time today

Is this game on chelsea tv for outside uk, hopefully can watch it on sportsmania

wagnh confirmed there'll be no tv coverage at all

I'd suggest JT is currently in the best shape of his life

GAMEDAY! COME ON CHELS!!!

Strange its not going to be available anywhere to watch, even online, a shame!
