CHELSEA made a huge mistake when naming their starting line-up ahead of tonight’s Carabao Cup clash with Brighton.
The Blues named Andrey Santos – who is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest – in the XI instead of Cole Palmer.

Santos, 19, left Stamford Bridge to join Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan last month.
He has made just one appearance for Steve Cooper’s side so far – in a Carabao Cup match against Burnley.
And his shock inclusion on Chelsea’s teamsheet has left fans baffled.
One person tweeted: “Well, I guess Andrey Santos isn’t getting any minutes for Nottingham Forest…”
Another added: “To be fair it looks like Santos has as much chance of playing for #CFC right now as #NFFC for some reason.”
While a third wrote: “THEY PUT ANDREY SANTOS AS THE CHELSEA HOLDER! Wasn’t he at Forest? HOW BAD THIS TEAM IS!”
Palmer is set to start for the Blues against Brighton instead.
The winger completed a shock £42.5million transfer from Manchester City on deadline day.
