Mauricio Pochettino's tactical tinkering PAID OFF in Chelsea's 3-1 win at Aston Villa... so what did the Blues boss learn ahead of his crucial Carabao Cup final against Liverpool?

What a difference three days and three goals can make. What a difference to the whole mood around a football club.

On Sunday evening it was doom and gloom at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea were hunted down by Wolves, capitulating 4-2 in front of a seething crowd.

By Wednesday night they had inflicted just a third home defeat of the season on Aston Villa and looked a side revitalised with players flourishing in different roles.

With a Carabao Cup final against Liverpool beckoning later this month, anything is possible - even after their 4-1 collapse at Anfield last week.
