Ancelotti urges fringe stars to shine

Carlo Ancelotti is ready to utilise the depth in his Chelsea squad after they went four points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a 4-0 drubbing of Blackpool at Stamford Bridge.

The Italian will use the Carling Cup to blood his youngsters before welcoming back England men John Terry and Frank Lampard against Manchester City at the weekend. But Chelsea are entering a period where they play two games per week and Ancelotti is ready to use all his resources.

"We will need to use all of our players," said Ancelotti.

"The squad is so strong that we can change players to offer something different to the team or change the shape if we want to. "We want to show, during this season, that we can adapt to any game - this can be our strength."
