Two days after playing at Old Trafford, Chelsea will experience the other side of English football when the Premier League leaders visit fourth-tier club Shrewsbury for the biggest mismatch of the last 16 of the League Cup. The 9,875-capacity Greenhous Meadow Stadium will have a slightly different atmosphere to Manchester United's ''Theatre of Dreams'' for the superstars of Chelsea, who will be looking to avoid one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history. Shrewsbury, which is 72nd in the English football pyramid, has already eliminated Premier League opposition in Leicester and is looking to repeat the exploits of Bradford, which beat three top-flight teams to reach the final in 2013 while playing in the fourth tier.
