Chelsea's Jose Mourinho promises to field a "good team" against Shrewsbury Town

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that he will respect this evening's Capital One Cup opponents Shrewsbury Town by fielding a "good team" at New Meadow.

The Blues head into tonight's fourth-round tie on the back of a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

With just two days coming between games, Mourinho has revealed that he will rotate his team to include Andre Schurrle, Kurt Zouma, Mohamed Salah, Nathan Ake and John Obi Mikel.

"Every game is important," Mourinho told the club's official website. "Shrewsbury in the Capital One Cup is not a friendly.

"We have to play matches with respect and the best way to respect Shrewsbury is to go there with a good team, not to go there with a weak team and lose. We will go there with a good team. If they win they win, but they win against a good team."

Shrewsbury host Chelsea after winning their last four League Two fixtures.
