STEVE McClaren says Derby County's Capital One Cup quarter-final tie against Premier League giants Chelsea is "a great draw for the club, the fans and the players".
The Rams will take on Jose Mourinho's men at the iPro Stadium on Tuesday, December 16 (7.45pm).
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Chelsea visited Derby last season in the FA Cup third round and ran out 2-0 winners.
"It's a great draw for the club, the fans and the players," said Rams head coach McClaren.
"It is exciting but we will keep our feet on the ground.
"We will put it to bed and look forward to it in six weeks' time.
"We gave them (Chelsea) a good game in the FA Cup in January and came out of it with credit.
"Hopefully, we will give Chelsea a game again."
