Head coach Antonio Conte suggested he is prepared to give Chelsea's youngsters a run in the Carabao Cup after Wednesday night's rout of Nottingham Forest.
The 5-1 win set up a fourth round clash at home to Everton, but, despite facing Premier League opposition, Chelsea could field a similarly youthful squad.
Conte said: 'We are a great club, for this reason every competition is important to us. If we answer like this tonight, why not continue to give the opportunity to these players?'
Michy Batshuayi scored a hat-trick, while Kenedy and the impressive Charly Musonda were also on target for Chelsea.
