Antonio Conte's upcoming Chelsea reunion in the Carabao Cup will inevitably spark reminders of his eventful association with the Stamford Bridge club; the good, the bad and the ugly.
Among the good will be memories of the title-winning team he transformed Chelsea into during 2016-17 following his early-season switch to a back-three formation with wing-backs.
