?The league is the most important competition for us and I?m not going to look at things differently even against one of the best sides in the world,? Pearson said.

The Foxes, who have slipped from first to third in the Championship table after taking one point from three matches, are away against new leaders Queen?s Park Rangers on Saturday and Pearson admits the team he picks tomorrow will be chosen with that fixture in mind.

?We?re not a squad rotation club ? we don?t have a big enough squad. But players who are carrying niggles would be more likely to play on Tuesday if it were a league game.?

?LET?S use the cup to spur us on again!?


?Last time, against Southampton, we played well and we went on to win against Man City in the league,? said Poyet.

?So let?s see if we can repeat that and do well and then beat Norwich City in the league at the weekend.?

?But, after Saturday, it?s clear we need to look for consistency ? so maybe two, three or four changes, but no more than that ? I need to take these games seriously.

But first up is the long trip to Wearside and Mourinho is set to makes changes to his team.

Defender Branislav Ivanovic will play no part after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Palace, so Cesar Azpilicueta is set to play at right-back and Ashley Cole is expected to start.

Mark Schwarzer is also likely to start in goal, while Frank Lampard, Demba Ba and John-Obi Mikel will be hoping to be handed a spot in the XI.
