Chelsea predicted lineup for their Capital One Cup clash with Derby:
GK) Petr Cech
With Thibaut Courtois still suffering from a minor muscle injury, Mourinho is likely to continue with the experienced Cech in goal.
RB) Branislav Ivanovic
The Serbian has been in fantastic form for the Blues this season, the undisputed first choice right-back.
CB) Kurt Zouma
With Gary Cahill set to be rested after playing against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, the youngster should get a chance to impress.
CB) John Terry
An experienced and level headed defender alongside the young Kurt Zouma.
LB) Cesar Azpilicueta
Competing with Felipe Luis for the starting left-back spot, with the Brazilian starting at the weekend, his Spanish teammate should get the nod this time.
DM) Nemanja Matic
Matic was sorely missed by Chelsea during his suspension, and has quickly become a vital part of Jose Mourinho’s side.
CM) Cesc Fabregas
Another player who was rested at the weekend due to a suspension, the former Arsenal man should slot straight back into the team.
CAM) Oscar
The Brazilian appears to be a favourite of Mourinho’s, with the Portuguese manager having a lot of faith in him.
RAM) Willian
Willian hasn’t been providing the end product that a lot of Chelsea fans would have been hoping for this season, but should still keep his starting berth.
LAM) Eden Hazard
Chelsea’s man of the moment, Hazard is just starting to motor for Chelsea this season.
ST) Diego Costa
The former Atletico Madrid man has been quietly getting on with things since returning from injury, scoring goals without necessarily taking the limelight. Mourinho claims he is fully fit and should start against Derby.
