Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea Preview – Carabao Cup 2nd Leg

Chelsea travel to Tottenham Hotspur seeking to complete the job in the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday night.

Thomas Tuchel’s men claimed a 2-0 win in the first leg and are only 90 minutes away from setting up a final showdown with Arsenal or Liverpool.

Team news
Antonio Conte will be without the services of four first-team players against Chelsea on Wednesday. The major absentee for Spurs is Son Heung-min, who has been sidelined for nearly a month after picking up a muscle injury. But there is some good news, as Cristian Romero is inching closer to returning after resuming light training following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
