League Two side Shrewsbury will hosts a famous match against Chelsea today in the League Cup 4th round, a huge occasion for the home side to shine.
Shrewsbury is in excellent form with 4 consecutive wins in the League, they knocked out Leicester in the last Capital One Cup round and are still unbeaten at home this season. Sitting on the 4th place in League Two, surely Shrewsbury will take this game on with great hope and morale. Not to say that Shrewsbury is perfect though, they are still 3 divisions below Chelsea and an analysis will reveal that even at such a low level they struggled mightily in the start of the season and can sometimes have problems scoring goals.
Chelsea obviously the most in-form team in the Premier League, they are playing some excellent football this season and have amazing depth in their squad, which allows them to compete successfully on multiple fronts. The visitors are on the back of a 1-1 draw at Manchester United, losing the 3 points in the last minute of injury time. Chelsea has often covered big handicaps this season so they will be hopeful of winning this without much stress.

Team news & lineups.
The hosts are relatively healthy, while Chelsea is set to surprise some people with a pretty strong lineup.
Shrewsbury: Leutwiler – Grandison, Goldson, Knight-Percival – Grimmer, Woods, Lawrence, Wesolowski, Demetriou – Collins, Akpa Akpro
Chelsea: Cech – Ake, Zouma, Terry, Luis – Mikel, Ramires – Baker, Willian, Salah – Schurrle
Usually I will never bet against an in-form underdog in the Capital One Cup, especially when they play at home, but this time the quality difference is just too big and I expect Chelsea to cruise without too many problems in this away game. The visitors are in even better form at a totally different level, which is a very important factor in the analysis. We`re already near the final stages of the competition so focus from big teams is increasing and with the lineup that Mourinho is expected to field, Chelsea really should not have any problems today. My tip is Chelsea to win and cover the 2 goal asian handicap. Shrewsbury will fight their hearts out, but it`s unlikely they will be able to score, and once they allow the first goal, it should be easier for Cheslea to cover the spread. Prediction: Shrewsbury – Chelsea 0-3.
