Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has said Saturday's win over Crystal Palace should help them for the Champions League clash with Lille this week.

The Blues will be hoping to get pas the last-16 stage after going all the way last season.

"It is good, because with a win you can move on forward, you can think up front and you don't have to worry too much," said Tuchel.

"We come now from a period with a lot of different competitions and it just continues like this, we go straight back to the Champions League and then to the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, so there are another three matches which are not in the Premier League.

"So it is a bit strange and that is what we demand from ourselves and it helps if you have a win like this. It helps with the belief and the atmosphere around the team and we will need a top performance on Tuesday against Lille."
