Chelsea are out of the Carabao Cup after losing 6-5 on penalties to Liverpool following a 1-1 draw at Anfield.

Wesley Fofana endured a nightmare evening. His handball gave Liverpool their equaliser before he eventually missed the decisive penalty in the shootout.

Simon and Manny break down what Xabi Alonso was trying to do tactically, whether Chelsea approached the game correctly and one of the biggest questions of the night: **why did Estevao never get on the pitch?**

Estevao was available on Chelsea’s bench but remained unused, and the hosts explain why they remain increasingly concerned about his long-term future at the club.

There were positives. Chelsea were significantly more competitive than they were against Tottenham, and Alonso felt his side showed improvement and courage at Anfield. But the result still leaves Chelsea with back-to-back defeats.

Now Manchester United come to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

For Alonso and his players, this has become a massive game.

Should Estevao have played against Liverpool — and is Manchester United now a must-win?
