Match Boost: Cole Palmer First Goalscorer, over 3.5 goals, Chelsea to win - was 19/2 now 12/1 Match Boost: Chelsea to win, over 10.5 corners, over 4.5 goals - was 6/1 now 7/1Palmer has nine goals and four assists in just 17 appearances for Chelsea and has been the top scorer for the Blues saving them multiple times.
He will be needed in this clash as they are 1-0 down on aggregate to the Championship side.
They are also limited in their options for an out-and-out striker with Nicholas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku out on international duty.
With them now at home and Boro likely to take the all-out defensive strategy Chelsea can pile on the pressure, win plenty of corners and bombard them with attacks which could also lead to a few goals at either end of the pitch.
Chelsea could win yet still force a draw overall and take it to extra time, but they just need a 2-0 win or similar to progress into the final which would be a huge boost to Mauricio Pochettino's first season in charge of the Blues.
The Blues had as many as 18 shots on goal in their trip to the Riverside with a total of 72% possession but failed to make the most of any of that, and only just managed five shots on target.
If they play even just slightly better with any more clinical finishing at the end of the multitude of passages of play they should be able to net a couple, with the disparity in squad value gigantic.
