Jose Mourinho to play "best team" against Derby County

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho confirms that he will play a strong lineup for the game against Derby County.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he will play a strong lineup in Sunday's FA Cup game away to Derby County in order to have the best chance of reaching the fourth round.

Mourinho said that it was important to get through without needing a replay, but did say that Mark Schwarzer could come in for Petr Cech in goal.

"My squad is the same," he told reporters. "We will go with the best possible team to try to win the game. We go to win with our best team and we can feel it. If we think Petr needs a rest then for Mark to play is not a problem.

"We are not going to give a break to some players because we want to win the game, and we don't want to play a second game."

Mourinho also confirmed that the club were not in for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain.
