Luiz relishing Chelsea fixture pile-up

David Luiz has no issue with Chelsea's fixture pile-up of some six games in just 16 days following the international break. "I love to play games, I prefer to play games than training for sure. I want to play both games against Southampton and Manchester United and I want to win both matches," Luiz told reporters.

"All the games are important to us - you know that at Chelsea. Southampton away is a difficult game, we need to win and after that we have a big derby in the FA Cup. Last year we won the competition, so it is also important."
