Eight changes for Chelsea

Samuel Eto'o has returned to the Chelsea starting lineup for tonight's League Cup quarter-final against Sunderland.

The Cameroonian's inclusion is one of eight changes made by Jose Mourinho from Saturday's victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Willian are the only three players to keep their place from the weekend.

Home side Sunderland, meanwhile, make three changes to their lineup from Saturday's goalless draw at West Ham United, with Andrea Dossena, Craig Gardner and Adam Johnson in for Phil Bardsley, Ki Sung-Yueng and Fabio Borini.

Sunderland: Mannone; Celustka, O'Shea, Brown, Dossena; Cattermole, Larsson, Gardner; Johnson, Giaccherini; Altidore

Chelsea: Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Cahill, D Luiz, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; De Bruyne, Willian, Schurrle; Eto'o
