This Is The First Trophy For A New Chelsea - Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho believes Sunday's League Cup triumph over Tottenham represents the first trophy for a "new" Chelsea. Chelsea lifted the League Cup after victory over Tottenham on Sunday, and Jose Mourinho sees it as the first silverware of many for a new crop of players.
In his initial spell at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup. Sunday's win at Wembley secured the first trophy of his second stint in charge, and Mourinho's first major silverware since winning La Liga with Real Madrid in 2012.

CAPITAL ONE CUP: Chelsea Wants To Make It To Wembley Says Mourinho
Jose Mourinho is looking forward to Liverpool facing a highly motivated Chelsea when they arrive at Stamford Bridge for tonight’s big cup match. The Blues are aiming for a rapid response to our first defeat of the season on home turf three days ago, as we take on opposition we know well.
‘It is a semi-final second leg, a knockout game, live or die, against a very good team,’ said Mourinho, ‘and maybe that pushes us to a good level of concentration and motivation that maybe we couldn’t reach against Bradford.

LIVERPOOL 1 CHELSEA 1: Super Sterling Rescues Point For Reds
Raheem
Sterling's fine individual goal earned Liverpool a 1-1 draw with
Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final first leg at Anfield. An
excellent solo strike from Raheem Sterling gave Liverpool a deserved 1-1
draw with Chelsea in Tuesday's first leg of the League Cup semi-final
at Anfield.
The home side dominated possession throughout much of a high-intensity affair, but struggled to break down a stubborn and well-organised Chelsea outfit who were well backed up by the fine goalkeeping of Thibaut Courtois.

CAPITAL ONE CUP: LIVERPOOL vs CHELSEA PREVIEW
Liverpool are the hosts as Chelsea visit Anfield for the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final tie on Tuesday. The Premier League leaders travel to Merseyside buoyed by Saturday's 5-0 obliteration of Swansea and will be confident of securing a positive result to take back to London for the second leg next week.
Chelsea, who sit five points clear at the top of the table following Manchester City’s defeat to Arsenal, edged the last meeting between the teams as Gary Cahill and Diego Costa cancelled out Emre Can's deflected opener in the league in November.

Manuel Pellegrini Worried Over Man City's Recent Failures
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits that he is "worried" by his side's current struggles after an impressive Newcastle dumped the League Cup holders out of the competition. Goals from Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko sealed the Magpies' passage to the quarter-finals, with the visitors comfortably the better.
City are six points off the pace in the Premier League, struggling in the Champions League and have now surrendered their League Cup trophy with a whimper, leaving the Chilean in no mood to offer up excuses.

CAPITAL ONE CUP: Sam Allardyce Hails Howard After Heroic Display
Sam Allardyce cited Sheffield United goalkeeper Mark Howard as the thorn in West Ham's side following their League Cup loss. West Ham were stunned by their League One visitors as the Yorkshire club prevailed on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Upton Park on Tuesday.
Allardyce's men led through Diafra Sakho before Winston Reid's own goal levelled matters, with Howard saving Enner Valencia's spot-kick to allow Michael Doyle to convert the winner in the shoot-out. It offered Sheffield United a small taste of revenge after a Carlos Tevez-inspired West Ham controversially secured Premier League safety at their expense in 2007. And Allardyce was in no doubt as to who had inspired the upset.

CAPITAL ONE CUP: City Through To Wembley Final After Thrashing West Ham
Manchester City swept into the League Cup final with a ruthless 3-0 win at West Ham on Tuesday which completed a 9-0 aggregate victory in a brutally one-sided semifinal.
Manuel Pellegrini's side had already effectively booked their place at Wembley after winning the first leg 6-0 at Eastlands, but they didn't take it easy in the return at Upton Park.
Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero put City two goals up before halftime in east London and Negredo struck again after the break to cap another clinical display from one of the most potent strike-forces in Europe.

Rogues: Celtic fans attack Amsterdam Police
Amsterdam Police say an attack by a group of Celtic fans ahead of the Champions League game against Ajax has left eight officers injured. The clash between supporters and police came in the centre of the Dutch city before kick-off at Amsterdam Arena. "There were 15 arrests, mostly Celtic supporters," said a police statement. "At the end of the afternoon, a large group of Celtic supporters attacked police officers in plain clothes. Eight were injured and one left unconscious." Celtic had earlier issued a warning to their fans to be "extra vigilant" in Amsterdam following an attack on their supporters on Tuesday. "Bottles and sticks were used in the attack, which came out of nowhere," they said of the fighting in Dam Square. Police said a few officers "had broken noses and needed stitches above their eyebrows and on their lips". Ajax defeated celtic 1-0. Football needs no stampedes. We are waiting for fines and sanctions from UEFA.
