ILLAWARRA products Mile Sterjovski and Ruben Zadkovich could be in line for a dream appearance at Wembley Stadium after helping Derby County to the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup.

The Rams are unlikely to clinch any league silverware this season as they are running 12th after 17 games, but could well clinch the second-most prestigious Cup title in the United Kingdom.

Derby will have to wait to find out who they will face in round five - which starts on December 1. The draw will take place later this month.

The Rams join fellow second-tier outfits Watford and Burnley in the quarter-finals, along with English giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Premier League outfits Tottenham, Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers.

Derby booked their spot in the final eight after a 2-1 win over League One outfit Leeds United at Pride Park on Tuesday night.

Zadkovich, a Bulli junior, came on at the start of the second half while Sterjovski entered the fray for the final nine minutes.
