Chelsea celebrated a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday. The Blues have qualified for the final having celebrated a 3-0 on aggregate victory over Spurs. Antonio Rudiger scored the only goal of the game at 18′. After the game head coach Thomas Tuchel was asked about tactical change as Chelsea played with the back-four. Ahead of Premier League clash against Manchester City, Tuchel was aksed about the new tactics. He said:

"If it makes sense and we think it makes sense we can see it again. We have played it now twice and in both games we were very committed to the structure and very disciplined.   "So well done to the team, full credit to them that they are open to some adjustments that give us more options and maybe makes us a bit more unpredictable.   "Of course, today we used it again for the build-up but defended in a back five. It's good to have these options but it needs to fit into what we expect and which spaces we expect to find. We will decide from match to match."
