Sturridge says Chelsea senior players up for Valencia crunch match

Danny Sturridge says Chelsea's players are up for their Champions League crunch match against Valencia.

Blues need to win to be guaranteed of progress to the knockout round.

Sturridge said: "The players we have in the squad are used to playing in big games.

"They've played in World Cups, Champions League finals and semi-finals. The players are well prepared for this."

Something else to which Chelsea are not used is losing at home, something they have done in three of their last four matches at Stamford Bridge.

Sturridge said: "I honestly don't know why we've not been winning as many games as we have away.

"The team don't play any differently away from home.

"We're maybe just not getting the results we deserve at home. We need to go out and show what we can do as a team."
