With victory at Goodison, Chelsea last night qualified for our sixth League Cup final, and our third in four years.

It is also our ninth cup final in 11 years, following on from four FA Cup finals, four League Cup finals, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1998.

The final against Tottenham on February 24 will follow on from our previous five, of which we have won four and lost one.

Didier Drogba is our top scorer in these games with three goals, and is the only Chelsea man to score in two League Cup finals.
