Chelsea face a stern test in the third round of the Carabao Cup, as a trip to Anfield against Liverpool awaits them.
The Blues automatically enter in at this stage of the competition following their finish in the Premier League last season but will be matched with a fellow top six side in this early stage.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is sure to be keen on winning silverware in his first season at Stamford Bridge but a huge test awaits his Blues side, with Liverpool raring to go.
The clash between Liverpool and Chelsea is, without doubt, the headline clash of the third round, ensuring that at least one big English club will bow out at their first hurdle this year.
A date for the fixture has not yet been confirmed, but the clash will be played during the week beginning on Monday 24 September.
