Blues without Joao Pedro for massive showdown at Anfield…

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has confirmed his starting lineup for Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against Liverpool at Anfield. Danny Welbeck leads the attack in place of the injured Joao Pedro, who is sidelined for several weeks with a thigh injury. Goalkeeper Mike Penders retains his starting spot despite a recent error, as first-choice keeper Emi Martinez continues to recover from a broken jaw.
Cole Palmer is unavailable due to a one-match suspension following his red card against Tottenham. The lineup features Moises Caicedo alongside Romeo Lavia in midfield, with Pedro Neto, Morgan Rogers, and Jordan Henderson providing attacking support.
