Chelsea may well learn from Villa's narrow win that Boro are no straightforward second-tier side that they can brush aside with their top-flight might.

But they may be pleased to be heading away from home for the first of this two-legged tie, particularly having smashed Championship side Preston on the weekend.

A second Carabao Cup final in three years is on Chelsea's agenda here, whereas Michael Carrick's Boro can enjoy a night off from their play-off chase in pursuit of a first piece of silverware since they won this competition 20 years ago.
