The Europa League is now Jose Mourinho's main focus as he believes a top-four finish is now highly unlikely.
With this in mind the Portuguese tactician has been explaining his team selection for the clash away to Arsenal.
"We are going to try (to win)," he said of the trip to north London.
"We are going to try, we are not going to Arsenal to say 'beat us', or 'beat us 5 or 6-0'. We are going there to fight for a result.
"But it's impossible like I cannot do it in another way.
"If Celta was playing with their best team, if Celta was fighting for important things in LaLiga, we would go in the same circumstances.
"But I cannot now play with the same team that played here, and then repeat again on the next Thursday.
"So, we have to be human with the players, we have to be sensible and common sense in relation to our situation in the Premier League.
"And I think the last match against Swansea was last our last chance to fight for top four, so I am going to rest players, yeah."
