Middlesbrough vs Chelsea – Carabao Cup semi-final LIVE: Broja dropped for Madueke as Blues and Boro renew rivalry
CHELSEA and Middlesbrough renew what was once a fierce rivalry as they lock horns in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi – and the action unfolds VERY SOON!
Bad blood began between them way back in 1988 when Boro relegated Chelsea from the old First Division in the play-offs on a day dubbed ‘The Battle of Stamford Bridge’.
