#3 Poised for a good cup run
Frank Lampard has indicated repeatedly over the summer and since the Premier League season began that he will give Chelsea's youth a chance. While that has been entirely true of Chelsea's league season so far, he took it to another level in the EFL Cup, playing a starting XI of youngsters interspersed with experienced professionals, with Ross Barkley being the most experienced player on the pitch.
In an excellent showing at the Bridge, the youngsters really turned up. If they're able to consistently perform at this level and Chelsea find a way to shore up their defence, they can really go on some season defining cup runs in this campaign. Even if the EFL Cup is largely played by the youth players for Chelsea, they may just have a big chance at a cup this season.
