Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez hopes his squad can cope with their congested fixture as they prepare to take on Manchester City on Sunday.
Benitez's men scraped through to the last 16 of the Europa League after a late goal from Eden Hazard was enough to see them emerge victorious in the two-legged tie against Sparta Prague.
Frank Lampard, Branislav Ivanovic and Ashley Cole are all likely to return for the English Premier League encounter in Manchester.
Benitez said he was confident his team still had energy, with Chelsea looking to maintain their top-four spot in the league.
"We have played around nine games a month, so we have played more games than anyone in Europe," he said.
