Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has warned his players not to let their
 standards drop as they prepare to begin their League Cup defence away 
to third-tier Walsall this week.<br />
Chelsea belatedly kickstarted their defence of the Premier League 
title with a 2-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday, with Manchester City’s 
2-1 defeat at home to West Ham United allowing Mourinho’s side to close 
to within eight points of the summit.<br />
It came after a breezy 4-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions
 League, but Mourinho knows that his side cannot afford to take risks 
against Walsall, who are flying high in League One.<br />
“I want to go match after match,” said the Portuguese, whose side beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in last season’s final.<br />
“Walsall is a cup game, a cup that we won and a cup that we don’t 
want to throw away. We want to try to win. Wednesday is one more 
difficult match.”<br />
Mourinho will shuffle his pack for Wednesday’s trip to the Bescot 
Stadium, with captain John Terry expected to return at centre-back after
 being left on the bench in the stormy win over Arsenal.<br />
Walsall have already eliminated Championship sides Nottingham Forest 
and Brighton and Hove Albion and are currently second in League One, a 
point behind Burton Albion, following a 1-1 draw at Peterborough United.<br />
Arsenal have now lost twice in a row, having previously crashed to a 
2-1 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, and face an awkward
 third-round assignment away to local rivals Tottenham.<br />
“It’s not good enough for a club like Arsenal to lose two games in a row,” midfielder Aaron Ramsey told the Arsenal website.<br />
“Hopefully now we can put things right on Wednesday. It will be a feisty game with hopefully some goals in our favour.”<br />
– Sunderland’s daunting week –<br />
Another team looking for a League Cup fillip are City, whose perfect 
start to the Premier League season was abruptly ended by Saturday’s loss
 to West Ham.<br />
Manuel Pellegrini’s side travel to Sunderland, the top flight’s 
bottom club, on Tuesday and record signing Kevin De Bruyne believes City
 will prevail if they attack the game in the same manner, provided they 
show a sharper cutting edge.<br />
“We just have to play like we did in the second half, but the only 
thing we have to do is score goals and then obviously we can win that 
game,” the Belgian winger told CityTV after scoring his first City goal.<br />
Sunderland’s 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth left them at the foot of the 
table and they face a trip to Manchester United at the weekend, but 
midfielder Jack Rodwell says they cannot afford to feel sorry for 
themselves.<br />
“We have got to pick ourselves up now. We have got two big games coming this week,” said the former City midfielder.<br />
“We have no time to dwell, but that is a good thing, really, and we 
can bounce back as much as we can. Hopefully we will do something good.”<br />
Manchester United, second in the Premier League after winning 3-2 at 
Southampton on Sunday, enter the competition on Wednesday with a home 
game against second-tier Ipswich Town, while Liverpool host League Two 
Carlisle United, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition.<br />
Aston Villa tackle Midlands derby rivals Birmingham City on Tuesday, 
with in-form pair Leicester City and West Ham facing off at the King 
Power Stadium and West Bromwich Albion visiting Norwich City in two 
remaining all-Premier League ties.<br />
Fixtures (1845 GMT unless otherwise stated):<br />
Tuesday:<br />
Aston Villa v Birmingham, Fulham v Stoke, Hull v Swansea, Leicester v
 West Ham, Middlesbrough v Wolves, Notts County v Crawley, Preston v 
Bournemouth, Reading v Everton (1900 GMT), Sunderland v Man City<br />
Wednesday:<br />
Crystal Palace v Charlton, Liverpool v Carlisle (1900 GMT), Man Utd v
 Ipswich (1900 GMT), MK Dons v Southampton, Newcastle v Sheff Wed, 
Norwich v West Brom, Tottenham v Arsenal, Walsall v Chelsea</div>
