Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho made wholesale changes for the Capital One Cup quarter-final trip to Sunderland as he looked to the depth of his squad.
Only David Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta and Willian of the men who started Saturday's 2-1 Barclays Premier League victory over Crystal Palace were retained with Mark Schwarzer, Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill, John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Kevin de Bruyne, Andre Schurrle and Samuel Eto'o being drafted in.
Opposite number Gus Poyet made only three changes in the wake of the 0-0 draw at West Ham as Andrea Dossena, Craig Gardner and Adam Johnson replaced Phil Bardsley, Ki Sung-yueng and Fabio Borini.
