"It's an opportunity for people to come in and showcase what they can do. "Everyone wants to be playing on the weekend and it's down to the manager for that."That's why I think the team was so good, because they know the big game is on the weekend and everyone wants to play in it, everyone wants to be in that starting XI, including me."Chelsea face Southampton in the second semi-final on Sunday.</blockquote>
