    Chelsea v Bournemouth (19:45 GMT)

    Bournemouth have never won a major trophy, and they are two games away from the final.

    But manager Eddie Howe has suggested he will rotate his team before their trip to Premier League leaders Manchester City this weekend.

    "There will be a certain number of changes as I don't want us to suffer any more injuries," Howe said. "We need to make sure we leave Stamford Bridge feeling good about ourselves again and having given a good account."

    "This year, the top teams have been absolutely ruthless. Of course there are going to be upsets, but more consistently they have put their dominance together against the lesser sides."

    Is that the right call? Would Bournemouth be better off putting tonight's game first?

    A test of priorities, a question of status?

    Chelsea and Manchester United will doubtless make considerable changes for tonight's League Cup semi-finals, but what of opponents Bournemouth and Bristol City?

    Their priorities are staying in, and trying to reach, the Premier League respectively.

    But shouldn't all four clubs put the prospect of winning a trophy at the top of their lists?

    After tonight there will be just four teams in with a shout of winning the EFL Cup...
