Chelsea
Although Chelsea have forked out millions upon millions of pounds to completely revamp the squad in recent times, Pochettino is short of options ahead of Wednesday's clash due to an injury crisis at Stamford Bridge.
With Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Carney Chukwuemeka, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke and Marcus Bettinelli all sidelined through injury, the hosts cannot afford to rest many key players in the EFL Cup.
Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is expected to make his debut, meaning that Robert Sanchez will not face his former club on Wednesday, while Cole Palmer and Ben Chilwell should be restored to the starting XI.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Petrovic; Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Chilwell; Caicedo, Gallagher; Palmer, Fernandez, Sterling; Broja
Brighton
As for Brighton, injured pair Julio Enciso and Jakub Moder will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, while James Milner and Pascal Gross are doubts for the midweek trip to the capital.
De Zerbi has proved that he is not afraid to make multiple changes to his starting XI, meaning that we could see a new-look Brighton side on Wednesday, with the likes of Jason Steele, Adama Lallana, Solly March, Ansu Fati and Joao Pedro pushing for a start.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Steele; Lamptey, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Lallana, Gilmour; March, Fati, Mitoma; Pedro
Prediction: Chelsea 1-3 Brighton & Hove Albion
