Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu expects tonight's game will have an extra edge to it following Sunday's match.
"Manchester United is always a big match anyway, but after what happened at the weekend, losing with nine men, there will be a big atmosphere in the stadium, and we are very motivated to go out and do our job, and win the match," he said.
The 21 year-old, who has made just two appearances this season, is hoping to feature in Di Matteo's starting XI following his only other full appearance of the season in the competition when Chelsea thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers 6-0.
"I know I have to wait until the chance comes and I am trying to be ready and get my body fit for when I can go onto the pitch and play," he told the Chelsea website.
"That's important for me, right now I feel ready and I am waiting for it to come. Wednesday night may be a good chance to show that I am ready to play for Chelsea.
"For me every minute I can play in every competition is important, it doesn't matter which one, you just want to play well and enjoy your football for the club. This is a competition that can give minutes to people who are not playing regularly, and it lets you show the manager that he can put you on the pitch."
