What channel is Cardiff v Chelsea Carabao Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Cardiff v Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
The biggest mismatch of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals will play out at the start of the week as League One Cardiff City host Chelsea in the Welsh capital.
Enzo Maresca is aiming to achieve his third semi-final appearance in all competitions since joining the club despite facing intense scrutiny of comments he made after the Blues' last match.
Speaking following a 2-0 win over Everton, the Italian coach said: "Since I joined the club, the last 48 hours have been the worst 48 hours since I joined the club because many people didn't support us" before clarifying that his issues are not with the fans, but refused to comment further.
Maresca's pre-Cardiff press conference was dominated by questions to unearth the full story, but he would not elaborate.
Cardiff will hope the confusion destabilises the Blues as they seek to become the first third-tier team to reach the final four of the Carabao Cup since Burton Albion in 2018/19.
