Conte admits he will consider Saturday's Premier League match at Liverpool when selecting his side for the game, with a win securing Chelsea's place in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Conte said: "For sure I have to make the best decision for these games, because we are playing every three days.

"I trust all my players and it is normal to have rotation.

"I have a squad with great maturity and they know very well the importance of the game and we must have great focus to beat a good team."
