Chelsea boss Frank Lampard plans to shake-up his line-up for their Carabao Cup tie with Manchester United.
Lampard admits several players need to rest.
He said, "As a player, I wanted to play every game but the beauty of sitting on this side is you do see things slightly differently and you have time to think about the bigger picture. The demands on the players are even more in the modern day so I have to take those things into account but we're not taking this game lightly even if I make changes - I'll make them because I believe in the squad being strong throughout.
"If there are players who step out of the line-up with a view to the coming weeks, it will be done with the big picture in mind. I understand how players are and they want to play so we'll try to have the right conversations and let them know what the position is.
"The [physical] output from the last two games has been really strong for a lot of players so we have to look at that side as well, to take into account rest and strains on the body for the players."
