Chelsea fullback Filipe Luis hopes to experience Wembley again

Chelsea fullback Filipe Luis hopes to experience Wembley again this season.

The 29-year-old, who joined from Atletico Madrid for £16m in the summer, has played there just once - as a substitute for Brazil in their 2-1 defeat to England in February 2013.

"My first experience was with Brazil - it is a big and great stadium but I want to get there again with Chelsea," he told the London Evening Standard.

"But we know it's going to be really difficult against Derby. They have a really good team and are doing a fantastic job in the Championship.

"They lost on Saturday [2-0 to Middlesbrough] but they have a lot of good players and have the quality to get out of the second tier."
