Chelsea boss Frank Lampard defended his team selection for defeat at home to West Ham.
Tammy Abraham missed out through injury, but Lampard put Willian, N'Golo Kante, Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen on the bench from the side who started the Champions League clash with Valencia.
The Blues boss said: I had to think about the squad.
When we have a really taxing game where we give everything physically and arrive back late, I have to think about how fresh we can be.
We're not going to get through this season with the same 10 or 11 players.
The team that we had out there for sure has the quality to win this game.
The fact that we performed below par is the reason that we didn't.
When these moments come, they are little tests for all of us and we have to pass them."
