Q: How important is the Carabao Cup to Chelsea’s season? Pochettino emphasised youth against Wimbledon, but is full focus on Premier League - or silverware and a potential route to Europe via Europa Conference League play-offs?

ADRIAN KAJUMBA: Any route that offers a trophy and potential success should be important to Chelsea. A European run is out of the question this season so there is added importance on the domestic cup competitions because of what they could mean for this season and next in terms of qualifying for Europe, particularly when you consider how the league season has started.
