Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea's Carabao Cup third round tie against Lincoln City.
The Blues travel to the north east tomorrow evening as they get their cup campaign underway against League One opposition in the Imps. Chelsea were last in action on Saturday evening as they fell to defeat away at Manchester United and given the tight turnaround - as well as the Carabao Cup often being used to use different players in the past - there is expected to be plenty of rotation in Maresca's line-up on Tuesday night.
One man who looks set to miss out on the trip up to Lincoln is Cole Palmer, who lasted just 20 minutes in Saturday's defeat at Old Trafford. The 23-year-old has been struggling with groin problems in the early parts of the season and was in pain in Manchester, with Maresca bringing Andrey Santos on to replace him.
The fitness of Palmer is set to be on the agenda in this morning's press conference, that is scheduled to begin at 11am (UK time). That and much more is available below, with Bobby Vincent live in Cobham to bring you every word Maresca has to say.
