Chelsea confirm John Terry, Radamel Falcao will start at Walsall

Chelsea have confirmed that club captain John Terry and Radamel Falcao will start in Wednesday night's League Cup tie against Walsall at Bescot Stadium.

Terry, 34, was an unused substitute alongside Falcao as the Premier League champions beat Arsenal 2-0 on Saturday, with the partnership of Kurt Zouma and Gary Cahill again preferred at centre-back.

However, a post on the club's website confirmed the pair as starters, and Jose Mourinho has dismissed suggestions that any members of his squad are unhappy.

"Of course John [Terry]'s experience will help," Mourinho told the club website. "He did not play the last match so he is completely fresh and completely motivated to play, the same as Falcao for example.

"Chelsea is Chelsea, and wearing the Chelsea shirt always brings responsibility. Every player is more than happy to play.

"It is a good opportunity for the people who are not playing so much and so it is important for them that you win and you play again, because if you do not play again there are fewer opportunities for some players."

The win over the Gunners was just Chelsea's second victory of the season and left the Blues in 15th in the Premier League table ahead of the visit to joint-bottom side Newcastle United this Saturday.
