Chelsea hold significant advantage

Chelsea hold a healthy 2-0 lead over Spurs going into the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

The Stamford Bridge side dominated the first meeting and arguably could have won by a bigger margin, but as it stands Tottenham are still in this tie and should be capable of producing a better performance in front of their own fans.

Spurs will be without Son Heung-min after he sustained a muscle injury in the first leg. The South Korean is expected to be absent for the rest of the month but it is Chelsea who have the bigger injury problems.

The visitors are without Ben Chilwell, Reece James and potentially Trevoh Chalobah due to injury, N’Golo Kante and Thiago Silva have to produce negative Covid-19 tests if they are to feature and keeper Edouard Mendy is at AFON with Senegal.

Both teams capable of scoring

Tottenham didn’t offer a great deal going forward in the first leg but they are a far stronger side at home, and they have improved since Chelsea claimed a 3-0 win in North London in the Premier League back in September.

Antonio Conte’s men have scored in each of their last eight home games and have scored at least twice in all of those fixtures. However, they have also only managed one clean sheet in their last four in North London and Chelsea have been in good scoring form themselves – having only failed to score in one of their last 23 fixtures across all competitions.

As Chelsea have a fairly healthy lead to protect, there is a chance they will adopt a more defensive approach and that is a concern. However, boss Thomas Tuchel will know that the tie isn’t over yet but one more goal for

切尔西拥有巨大的优势

周三，切尔西以2-0领先热刺进入第二回合的英语杯半决赛。

斯坦福桥的球队在第一次交锋中占据了主导地位，并有可能以更大的优势获胜，但现在热刺仍然处于平局状态，应该有能力在自己的球迷面前表现得更好。

由于孙兴慜在第一回合的比赛中肌肉受伤，热刺队将缺席本场比赛。韩国人预计将缺席这个月剩下的时间，但切尔西有更大的伤病问题。

客队没有本·奇尔维尔、里斯·詹姆斯和可能因伤缺席的特雷沃·查洛巴，恩戈洛·坎特和蒂亚戈·席尔瓦必须进行新冠病毒检测呈阴性，门将爱德华·曼迪也在AFON效力塞内加尔。

两队都有得分能力

热刺在首回合比赛中并没有表现出太大的优势，但他们在主场的实力要强大得多，而且自从切尔西在9月的英超联赛中以3-0战胜北伦敦后，他们已经有了长足的进步。

安东尼奥-孔戴的球队在最近8场主场比赛中都有进球，而且在所有这些比赛中都至少打进2球。然而，在北伦敦的四场比赛中，他们也只有一场没有失球，而切尔西也一直保持着良好的进球状态——在过去的23场比赛中，只有一场比赛没有进球。

由于切尔西有一个相当健康的领先位置需要防守，他们有可能采取更加防守的方法，这是一个问题。然而，主教练托马斯·图切尔知道，这场比赛还没有结束，只是还有一个进球
