Jose Mourinho sent out a dismissive message about the chances of Spurs or Blackburn Rovers in this season's FA Cup.
Ahead of the Spurs replay on Monday, the winners of which play Blackburn in the Semi-Final, Mourinho said; " I expect to be in the FA Cup Final.
To achieve this, Jose was happy to get through the Sheffield United match with players unscathed.
"I'm glad that we scored quickly, " he said.
"And at 2-0 after 20 minutes, it was all over as a game.
"We were in control and I was able to rest players and they were able to enjoy the game.
"Andriy Shevchenko is doing very well in his first season in a completely new country.
"He will do better next season - it's the same as Drogba.
"It's difficult for strikers as in Italy they play zonal marking, whereas in England it's man for man marking.
"But he is scoring well - not amazing but good enough.
"He is a happy boy and is improving.
"The best is still to come from him and he thinks so too."
Jose then hinted that he is not too happy about his future.
Asked about speculation on his future, he said: "It bothers me about the speculation.
"I expect to be here next season. I and the club are thinking about players as we will lose a considerable number due to the African Nations Cup."
Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock was in pragmatic mood.
"I think that Robert Hulse has suffered a double fracture of his leg.
"It's one where we have to look away when we saw it again on video.
"He caught his ankle with Cech's legs and it first went one way and then another.
"We now have a job on our hands and it's time for someone else to take over.
"We will just have to get on with it.
"But we are used to adversity.
"We have John Stead, Nada and Danny Webber to come in.
We have eight games left four of which are at home and we should get some points from our away matches.
"It's in our hands.
"Chelsea are a fabulous side and in all honesty we did very well only to lose 3-0."
