Manchester United ace Nemanja Vidic says the team's surprise Carling Cup defeat to Derby will not be an issue against Chelsea.
The Red Devils were defeated 1-0 at Pride Park in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final on Wednesday thanks to Kris Commons' goal.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side do battle with title rivals Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday, but Vidic insists their midweek slip-up has not affected confidence or their focus.
"The Premier League is different," said the Serbia international defender.
"We know what it means for both teams and we are looking forward.
"It will be a great game and we will be doing our best to win."
Vidic thinks that with United always having a second chance against The Rams at home maybe the side let complacency creep into their game on Wednesday.
"Maybe in the back of our minds we always recognised we would have a second chance," he added.
"Maybe that is why we didn't perform as we can and Derby took advantage of the fact we played badly."
