Its cup night Chelsea FC square off against Derby at 7:45PM in the 4th round of the Capitol one Cup. Derby are in fine form currently sitting on 3rd in the championship after suffering an away defeat this weekend to Middlesbrough.
‘At this moment we donÂ’t speak about any other competition, we just speak about the Capital One Cup. It is a difficult opponent and we have to go with a strong side.Â’ -Â Jose Mourinho
The Rams have managed to keep 2 clean sheets in their last 3 home encounters they are a well organised team and Jose had nothing but praise for their manager Steve McClaren.
“Derby where a strong team then and they are a strong team now, but with more time with the same manager they have more conditions to be stable and to be a better team, which I think they are.” - Jose Mourinho
Given the fact that they are so organised there is a good chance Jose could turn to his leading assist maker Fabregas tonight to give our midfield a cutting edge in the final 3rd. Another player we could see tonight is Ramires the Brazilian could do with a run in the park to add some minutes under the belt. Jose is full of surprises we can always expect something special from the special one when the team sheet is announced later on today.
But what makes this competition so import my guess is it would give the new look Chelsea the confidence and self-belief they will need to go all the way and win silverware in what could be the most exciting Chelsea era ever witnessed.
