Antonio Conte says it would be "normal" to rotate his Chelsea side for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Qarabag.
The Italian says there is no chance of letting complacency creep in against a team who were defeated 6-0 at Stamford Bridge in September.
Conte admits he will consider Saturday's Premier League match at Liverpool when selecting his side for the tie against Qarabag, 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."
Qarabag have performed with credit in Group C since conceding six at Chelsea, losing 2-1 at home to Roma and then drawing 0-0 and 1-1 with Atletico Madrid.
Conte added: "They drew twice with Atletico and we have great respect for this team.
"We must be very clear. If someone thinks that we are sure to win, it will not be easy. For us the game against Qarabag is very important, as we don't want to wait to go through.
"If we win we go into the next round, it is a really good target for us. To reach this target for us before the game against Atletico will be very important."
Conte confirmed that Eden Hazard is fit for Wednesday's game, but Michy Batshuayi and Victor Moses remain out.
