On Wednesday evening, Walsall Football Club will play host to Barclays Premier League champions Chelsea, in the Third Round of this season's Capital One Cup competition.

Reports on the Daily Mail website suggest that the Saddlers, who have already knocked Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion out of the competition, could line up against Blues Captain John Terry, who has missed the last two games, including Saturday afternoon's 2-0 victory over Arsenal.

Young goalkeeper Jamal Blackman, who has joined the first-team squad due to a long term injury to first choice stopper Thibaut Courtois, is also currently in-line for his debut with Asmir Begovic likely to drop to the bench.

The Mail also suggest that controversial striker Diego Costa will be on the bench as Blues boss Jose Mourinho looks to rotate his squad in favour of Premier League and Champions League football.

On-loan striker Radamel Falcao, who spent last season with Manchester United, could be set to start as he seeks goals to kick-start his season.
