Lucas Moura wants Tottenham to play to win against Carabao Cup opponents Chelsea tonight.
Spurs manager Jose Mourinho admits he's likely to play a weakened line-up for the tie.
But Lucas, after their draw with Newcastle United on Sunday, says: "That's football, that's the Premier League. When you have the opportunity to kill the game, you need to do that.
“We don't have time to cry or complain about that though. We have another important game again tomorrow against a strong opponent and it's an opportunity to test our squad in a competition that we want to win. It's a big game against Chelsea. It's the type of game that every player wants to be a part of and wants to win.
"We need to be ready for what is going to be a tough week, but I think we are strong enough to get a good result because we have a great squad. We need everyone at 100 per cent with the right mentality, ready to play and ready to give their all. That's what matters."
