Chelsea fans would have hoped to have to play Frank Lampard's Derby County much later, or probably not at all.
But the Blues legend is set to return to Stamford Bridge as an opposing manager on October 31, where he will hope to get one over his old team in the Carabao Cup.
Derby have already pulled off a memorable win against Manchester United this season, with Lampard emerging victorious after his first managerial encounter with former mentor Jose Mourinho. And the Blues' highest-ever scorer will be looking to get a win over their new manager, Maurizio Sarri in his next League Cup match.
