Tottenham and Chelsea meet in their Carabao Cup semi final second leg clash on Wednesday night with the Blues leading 2-0 after some calamitous defending from Spurs in the first leg. It leaves Antonio Conte’s side with a mountain to climb if they’re to make it to Wembley and end their long trophy drought.

Wednesday 7.45pm: Tottenham v Chelsea
TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football
Some of the defending in that first leg was absolutely atrocious from Spurs. I’m sure they’ll react. They will believe they’ve got a chance and I think after being 1-0 down against Morecambe at the weekend, Antonio Conte will be rattled.
He had to call for the cavalry, they came on to rescue it and won 3-1. It would have felt good to get that one out the way, it wasn’t a good performance. Chelsea won 5-1 and made short work of Chesterfield with five different scorers on the score sheet, including Romelu Lukaku.
This is a big derby between these two, and Spurs and ex-Chelsea man Conte will be up for it. I’m going to go for a Spurs Win – but only just.
I think that Both Teams Will Score. So, as you can imagine I’m going 2-1 to Spurs. I think everybody will be looking to Harry Kane to Score and I do think Conte will go very, very strong.
I’m also going for Romelu Lukaku to Score Anytime for Chelsea.
