McClaren finds no flaws in Blues

Steve McClaren admits Derby's assessment of Chelsea's weaknesses took "five seconds" and knows the Rams are massive underdogs in Tuesday's quarter-final of the Capital One Cup.

County, third in the Sky Bet Championship, host the Barclays Premier League leaders at the iPro Stadium - a rematch of the FA Cup third round tie last season, which Chelsea won 2-0.

Hull boss Steve Bruce insisted Jose Mourinho's side have no flaws before their 2-0 defeat on Saturday and McClaren has also failed to find any.

"At the moment they are the strongest. I can't see a weakness, we tried to find one and it lasted about five seconds," he said.

"We have to be at our very best, very, very best to come even close. We want to do that and we are capable of doing that.

"They are the best team in the Premier League and in Europe. They have only lost one game and only lost it because they ran out of time (against Newcastle).

"We have to perform at our best to stay in the game and have a chance of achieving our dream result. I want to see how our players perform - have we moved on from a year ago? Because Chelsea have.

"But they will have to be at their best. Mourinho will respect us and appreciate that. That will reflect in the team he picks. We don't expect any favours."

Gary Cahill has been taken out of the line of fire by Jose Mourinho, who will rest the defender who was accused of diving.

Hull boss Steve Bruce accused Cahill of simulation - "like something out of Swan Lake", the Tigers boss said - following Chelsea's 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Bruce felt Cahill should have been shown a second yellow card.

The England centre-back will be replaced by Kurt Zouma for the trip to Derby, even though Blues manager Mourinho has vowed to field "the best possible team".

"We're going to play against a top team in the Championship," Mourinho told Chelsea TV.

"The difference between a top team in the Championship and the teams of the Premier League are very, very small. We played there last year and it was not an easy game.

"We have no reason to rest people. Everybody goes. The only one that is not going because he played against Sporting (Lisbon) - I never gave him a break - is Cahill.

"Cahill doesn't play, I play Zouma."

It is a decision which may have been taken ahead of the diving storm when Chelsea had Diego Costa and Willian booked for simulation.

Cahill is due a rest as he was not one of the six players switched out of the side for last week's Champions League match with Sporting Lisbon.

But the timing is convenient for Mourinho, who last season lambasted Luis Suarez for an "acrobatic swimming pool jump" as he railed against simulation in English football.

He also insisted "there are no divers at Chelsea" following Oscar's booking for simulation at Southampton on January 1.

Prior to the Hull contest, Mourinho insisted none of his players would be ever-presents over the congested Christmas schedule.

The Derby match is Chelsea's fourth fixture of December and they now play six games in 19 days until their FA Cup third-round tie with Watford on January 4.

"I don't think one player is going to play these six matches," Mourinho said. "Every one of them has to go to five, the ones that play more they have to go to five; one (game) rest I think I have to give them.

"We did that against Sporting, we gave a rest to some players and we're going to do this from now until the end of the month."

Mourinho will afford his players rest following the Derby match, with Chelsea's next game the Premier League contest at Stoke next Monday.

"We have two days off, which is the two days after Derby, which allows the players to go home," Mourinho added.

"Maybe not, for sure, the South American ones, because it's very far, but the ones around England, Belgium, France, Germany, two days off; they have the chance at least to go and have a nice dinner with their families.

"It's the only two days I can give them. We play Tuesday against Derby, I give them Wednesday and Thursday, after that they are back Friday to play Monday."

Chelsea see off Derby to reach Capital One Cup semifinals

Filipe Luis' stunner helped Chelsea clinch a routine 3-1 win over 10-man Derby and move into the Capital One Cup semifinal.

The defender's superb free kick and Eden Hazard's opener made it a comfortable night for Jose Mourinho at the iPro Stadium.

Derby briefly rallied after Craig Bryson pulled a late goal back but their hopes ended when Jake Buxton was sent off for a foul on Loic Remy and Andre Schurrle added a third.

The visitors lost Kurt Zouma after a serious-looking collision with goalkeeper Petr Cech but they were in cruise control and rarely got out of third gear.

It was a reminder to the Rams, should they earn promotion to the Premier League, of the challenges they face.

Jose Mourinho issued his intent as Cesc Fabregas, Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry and Didier Drogba -- who came off injured -- started while Derby boss Steve McClaren made just two changes.

Buxton came in for the suspended Ryan Shotton in defence while Will Hughes replaced Jeff Hendrick in midfield.

Third in the Championship, the Rams competed well with the top flight leaders without creating any openings while Chelsea were comfortable despite failing to threaten themselves.

But County hit the self destruct button on 23 minutes to gift the visitors the lead.

Richard Keogh was robbed on the edge of the Derby box by Hazard, he played a one-two with Fabregas and the Belgium international danced past three challenges to fire into the bottom corner.

It was ruthless Chelsea's first shot on target. The goal settled them as Luis immediately fired straight at Lee Grant.

Aside from a flurry of corners late in the half Cech was a spectator, until he clattered into Zouma while he punched away the final corner a minute before the break.

The defender was poleaxed and needed treatment but while their club doctors attended to the defender Chelsea were frustrated by the stretcher-bearers.

Angered by their slow speed Fabregas and Azpilicueta grabbed the stretcher and helped carry it to their stricken teammate.

Branislav Ivanovic replaced him as half-time came, which gave Derby chance to regroup.

And they came close soon after the break when Hughes met Johnny Russell's cutback but Cech pushed his low effort wide.

The chance briefly reinvigorated the Rams only for Chelsea to brilliantly extend their lead on 56 minutes.

It seemed too much to ask when Luis lined up a 30-yard free kick after Drogba was clipped, only for the defender to fire in a wonderful effort which flashed past Grant.

Again, Derby were silenced as Chelsea controlled the pace and tempo but the Rams grabbed a lifeline out of the blue with 19 minutes left.

Russell found Bryson on the edge of the area and the midfielder curled in off the post to give the hosts hope.

It disappeared though, on 78 minutes when Buxton was dismissed after he pulled Remy back as the striker ran through, much to the shock of his team-mates.

And, four minutes later, Chelsea wrapped up the win when Grant saved from Remy and Schurrle fired in the rebound.
