Chelsea are looking to bounce back from their defeat to Arsenal last weekend with a win over Leeds United in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
In the second round against Luton Town, Xabi Alonso went with a very strong team. This time around, the Spaniard has also put out a competitive side.
Youngster Reggie Watson has been given a surprise start, but it is still a strong team Alonso has fielded.

After Wednesday nightโs cup tie, Chelsea return to Premier League action, taking on Hull City this Saturday.
While Hull are a newly-promoted side, Chelsea cannot underestimate them. They have already beaten Manchester United and have not conceded a single goal yet.
In contrast, Chelsea have been extremely leaky at the back. It is something that Alonso needs to address in order for the Blues to finish in the top four and make a return to the Champions League.
Leeds have also started the campaign well, so this game could be a real test for Chelsea.
During the summer, Leeds wanted to sign Mykhailo Mudryk from Chelsea, but the Ukrainian ended up joining the Bluesโ London rivals Tottenham Hotspur instead.
