Ancelotti won't overlook League Cup

LONDON: The English League Cup may rank a distant fourth on the list of Carlo Ancelotti's priorities this season but the Chelsea manager knows even this most derided of competitions has its value.

Anyone doubting that thesis should just cast their minds back to February 2005 when Chelsea defeated Liverpool 4-2 in the final.

That victory gave Jose Mourinho his first trophy at Stamford Bridge and provided the first concrete evidence that the club had appointed a born winner.
