FA Cup holders Chelsea took a comfortable win over 2008 finalists Cardiff City after perfect second-half performance.
Didier Drogba gave the Blues a perfect start when he run onto John Obi Mikel's long pass and slotted the ball past David Marshall into the net.
Drogba's fourth goal in three games since his return from the African Cup of Nations and his 23rd of the season.
Michael Chopra gave Cardiff brief hope with a first-half leveller before Michael Ballack restored Chelsea's lead.
Daniel Strurridge and Salomon Kalou sealed Championship Cardiff's fate.
Chelsea remain the team to beat in this competition with Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool already eliminated.
Chelsea's squad may have been without some of the stars as John Terry, Ashley Cole and Michael Essien, absentees for differing reasons, but Ancelotti was still able to name £105m of talent in a star-studded team.
