Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he will start with a strong side against Derby Count tonight.
It's the first of a number of tough away games which the Blues will play in the coming weeks as the Portuguese confirms he has no intention of throwing away a chance at silverware.
"Derby is the next match, and the next match is the Capital One Cup so the next match is the most important match,' Mourinho told the club's official website.
"At this moment we don'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.
"It is a sign of respect for Derby, it is a sign of respect for the competition because I don't think this cup deserves other things than we always show for the competition.
"We don't have problems. The players are fit, the players are not tired, the players are in good condition so no special reason not to go with a strong side.
"Obviously Derby will try to get into the Capital One Cup semi-finals which would be a great achievement for them but also for us, and we are going to try.
"This is a cup match, a quarter-final, big motivation for them and we have to equal that motivation so our bigger talent can win."
