Assistant coach Roberto Di Matteo has insisted that Chelsea are taking the FA Cup seriously following their 4-0 win over Portsmouth yesterday.
Ramires scored twice and Juan Mata and Frank Lampard got one each as Chelsea fielded a full-strength side against their Championship opposition.
"This is a competition we would like to win and we have taken another step nearer the target," Di Matteo said.
"We were never not going to play a strong team so the line-up shouldn't have come as a surprise."
Chelsea will face either MK Dons or Queens Park Rangers in the next round of the FA Cup.
