    Cardiff City take on Chelsea at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight in the Carabao Cup quarter final with kick-off at 8pm.

    The Bluebirds have booked a mouth-watering tie against Premier League opposition after progressing through earlier rounds, and with tickets now sold out there will be a lively atmosphere as fans back their side in a bid to reach the semi-finals.

    Chelsea arrive looking to manage their squad through a busy festive period, with manager Enzo Maresca expected to make changes and key attacker Cole Palmer ruled out of this match.

    Supporters heading to the game are reminded that gates open at 6.30pm, giving time to soak up the build up and enjoy pre-match activities around the ground. Cardiff Bus is running shuttle services between the city centre and the stadium.

    Matchday parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis at £10 per car, but car parks will shut an hour before kick-off so arriving early is crucial.

    There is plenty for fans to do before kick-off. The club superstore and Ninian Stand store open ahead of the game, while the official matchday programme features exclusive interviews and is on sale around the stadium. There will also be live pre-match music in the Canton Stand, and audio description services are available for visually impaired supporters.

    For those following from home, live coverage starts before 8pm on Sky Sports in the UK, with build-up and commentary bringing the action as both sides look to book their place in the last four of the Carabao Cup.
