CHELSEA boss Jose Mourinho plans to ring the changes for Tuesday night's Capital One Cup clash at Swindon Town.

The Special One confirmed Juan Mata and David Luiz, who were axed from the squad for this evening's win against Fulham, will start against the League One side.

Mourinho is also likely to hand starts to Michael Essien, Ryan Bertrand and Cesar Azpilicueta for the third round tie at the County Ground.

And he has challenged his fringe players to prove they are worthy of a regular spot.

The Portuguese chief said: “I want to the players to prove that I am wrong [for leaving them out].”
