CHELSEA 1-0 DERBY | TOMORI OG

5: Fikayo Tomori gets his first Chelsea goal in front of The Shed. What a moment for the lad…

Only joking/being mean because It’s a nightmare return from Chelsea loanee Tomori, who’s managed to slice Davide Zappacosta’s low cross into his own net.

No wonder Chelsea allowed him to play.

3: Mateo Kovacic looks like he’s trying to summon his inner Eden Hazard with a jinking solo run but he’s summoned a terrible Jozy Altidore finish. Wide of the post.

2: Derby have scored in the opening 25 minutes of their last four games – but It’s Chelsea doing all the early attacking. Willian sends a searching cross into the middle but Scott Carson is down to gather.

CHELSEA 0-0 DERBY

1: Before tonight’s game, Chelsea held a minute’s applause to remember those who passed away in the tragic accident at Leicester on Saturday, as well as former Blue Ken Shellito, who has died aged 78.

We’re underway.

Strictly business

19:43: Derby manager Frank Lampard speaking to Sky Sports: “It is slightly strange being back here but I was delighted with the draw – obviously from a personal note but also for the young players in the squad. I know what a strong team Chelsea are but we are ready.

“The lads have watched them regularly. We have worked hard and prepared. I have told them not to leave anything. Don’t be scared of what they can do. We know what we can do too. I want them to come off the pitch believing they have given everything.

“It has been a long afternoon. It is nice to be here but this is business. I want us to give everything and I want it to be a good game.”

Montage

19:40: Come on, who doesn’t love a montage? Chelsea celebrated the return of Frank Lampard by showing a highlights reel of his goals at Stamford Bridge.

He’s just emerged from the tunnel now to a standing-ovation and chants of “super, super Frank!”

‘I wasn’t expecting to play’

19:35: Derby midfielder Mason Mount: “It is a massive game but I am looking forward to it. We are all very excited. I wasn’t expecting to be able to play. I am buzzing.

“I had a little knock on my foot but it’s fine, just a little bit of bruising. We know we can cause an upset. That was the top performance [against Manchester United in the third round] we had in our locker but hopefully we can bring it out again.

“If we give it our best shot, we will see what happens. It is a massive game.”

Celebrate?

19:30: I was sent through some ridiculous odds by a bookmaker this week. They were offering 1/5 odds on Frank Lampard, Mason Mount or Fikayo Tomori celebrating a Derby goal…

I mean, what even constitutes a celebration? Is a modest Tim Henman-style fist-pump enough?

Anyway, Zola sees no reason why Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori could not celebrate a Derby goal or victory.

The Italian added: “It’s down to them. But why not? Hopefully they won’t celebrate too much.”

Zola happy about loanees

19:25: Gianfranco Zola has insisted Chelsea’s decision to allow on loan pair Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori to play against them is not only down to Frank Lampard.

Many competitions do not permit loanees to feature against their parent clubs, but the Carabao Cup does, at the discretion of the parent club.

And Chelsea have made the step, assistant boss Zola says, to aid the development of the players.

“It’s not only that (Lampard being Derby boss),” Zola said. “We believe that by playing against us is an opportunity for them to grow up quicker. The more they play against Premier League teams the more experience they get.

“And we can make better evaluations on them. It was a great opportunity to see them play in front of us and we took the opportunity.

“There will also be a psychological component. They will have to play in front of a big crowd, the crowd of the team they belong to. It will give them a good test.”

Twitter round-up

Nizaar: Drinkwater to make an appearance, finally? Hudson-Odoi amongst the subs after his appearance versus BATE. Pedro’s injury not so bad as he made the bench.

Tom: Looking forward to seeing Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount today but also Harry Wilson, he put in a great performance here while at Hull City.

Noun: Nice to see Loftus Cheek getting some playing time, hope he can have another great game.

Frank relishing return

19:15: Derby boss Frank Lampard admits the Rams’ Carabao Cup tie at his old club Chelsea will be a “very special” occasion for him.

“It’s a special draw for me to be able to go back and see people behind the scenes and 40,000-plus friends in the stadium,” Lampard said.

“I’m more emotional as I have gotten older, I think. These things catch you. Because you realise, in my life, how important Chelsea was and what I owe for that in terms of thanks.

“I’ll feel proud and honoured to be taking my team and going to a place that I called home for 13 years and still feels like home.

“I can’t forget 13 years of my career. It was a very special time for me, I was lucky to be part of such a strong era at the club. So it will be a very special night for me to be back there and feel that atmosphere once again.”

Team news

19:10: Mason Mount shook off a foot injury to feature for Frank Lampard’s Derby against parent club Chelsea.

Mount and Fikayo Tomori are both on loan from the Blues and featured on a night when Stamford Bridge was set to host Chelsea’s record goalscorer Lampard.

Only Willian, N’Golo Kante and Alvaro Morata continued in a Chelsea line-up showing eight changes against the Championship Rams, who were unchanged.

Derby defeated Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United on a penalty shootout in the previous round.

The youngsters return

19:05: I’ve realised I’ve not mention Halloween. I think I’m contractually obliged to mention it at some point – so prepare yourselves for a forced and painfully unfunny reference.

Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori have been granted permission to play against their parent club tonight – but will they come back to haunt Chelsea?

…I warned you…

Both Chelsea youngsters played in the Manchester United win, Derby triumphing on penalties after drawing 2-2 draw in normal time and both are in the starting XI tonight.

Frank is back

18:55: As you can see from the video above, Frank Lampard is back at Stamford Bridge. There was a lovely warm embrace for old friends, and even a hug for an unidentified tunnel-based person!

The draw

18:50: Yes, the quarter-final draw will take place tonight after the showdown at Stamford Bridge.

The draw will be conducted live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football – but you can follow the draw as it happens with Express Sport.

Bournemouth and Burton Albion have already qualified. Leicester’s Carabao Cup tie against Southampton, due to be held on Tuesday night, was postponed with a new date yet to be arranged.

Starting XI…

18:45: And right on time, here are the line-ups for tonight’s Carabao Cup clash at Stamford Bridge.

A quick glance tells me that Mason Mount does indeed start against his parent club. It also tells me that Maurizio Sarri is taking this game very seriously with N’Golo Kante, Alvaro Morata, Mateo Kovacic and Willian all involved.

Chelsea XI: Caballero, Zappacosta, Cahill, Christensen, Emerson, Kante, Fabregas, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Morata, Willian.

Subs: Bulka, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Drinkwater, Barkley, Hudson-Odoi, Pedro

Derby XI: Carson, Bogle, Keogh, Tomori, Malone, Huddlestone, Mount, Wilson, Waghorn, Lawrence, Marriott.

Subs: Roos, Forsyth, Johnson, Bennett, Holmes, Nugent, Davies.

Elsewhere…

18:40: Plenty going on in the Carabao Cup this evening.

Arsenal welcome League One Blackpool to the Emirates Stadium, while there’s a London derby between West Ham and Tottenham just 48 hours after Spurs were beaten by Manchester City at Wembley.

Oh, and Crystal Palace are playing Middlesbrough. Not sure if that will tickle your fancy…

Twitter round-up

Audrey: I really want Derby to beat Chelsea tonight! I want Frank Lampard’s return to Stamford bridge to be eventful and memorable for him!

Aden: Frank Lampard once had to re-take a penalty twice against West Ham. He scored on all three attempts. This legend is back at the Bridge tonight.

Damian: Frank Lampard returning to Stamford Bridge as an opposing manager & no doubt will get a hero’s welcome. A huge welcome should be given to Jody Morris also who has given us just as much in a different capacity.

Evening…

18:35: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Carabao Cup.

“WHEN YOU NEED A PHYSICAL OR MENTAL BOOST, CARABAO GIVES YOU THE ENERGY TO FACE THE BATTLE AHEAD,” says Carabao’s rather hyperbolic website.

Moving swiftly on, Chelsea’s record goalscorer Frank Lampard takes his Derby side to Stamford Bridge for tonight’s Carabao Cup fourth-round clash.

Lampard played for the Blues from 2001 to 2014, scoring a club-record 211 goals and winning 11 major trophies, including the Champions League in 2012 and three Premier League titles.

But could he inflict some damage against Maurizio Sarri’s side tonight? We’ll soon find out!

CHELSEA vs DERBY

Forward Eden Hazard is expected to miss Chelsea’s Carabao Cup fourth-round tie with Derby with a back problem.

Winger Pedro (illness) and striker Olivier Giroud (leg) are doubtful.

Ethan Ampadu (knee) has returned to training but is unlikely to feature.

Derby have been granted permission by Chelsea to select on-loan pair Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori.

Mount limped off with a knock in Saturday’s 1-1 Championship draw at Middlesbrough but it appears he will be fit, with Rams boss and former Chelsea player Frank Lampard having said he has the same group to pick from as he did for that last contest.

Craig Bryson (calf), George Evans (knee), Joe Ledley (hip) and Marcus Olsson (knee) were not involved in the game at the Riverside.
