Chelsea are also chasing another golden opportunity to book themselves spot into the Conference League trophy.
Enzo Maresca together with his troops are still finding their feet as they are currently on second spot on their Native nation(England).
The Blues sit top of the competition during the league phase, having won all of their matches so far.
Later on tonight Marisca together with his troops have another job to do as they are visiting Astana FC from Kazakhstan with kickoff set at 3:30 pm.
Before Enzo took over the reigns, Chelsea managed to reach few Cup finals under Mauricio Pochettino including Carabao Cup but failed to crowned champs.
Thomas Tuchel remains the last manager to win some silverware with Chelsea, and Maresca is keen to put his name in history and be successful at Stamford Bridge.
During Match post conference Enzo Maresca revealed what his players must do so that yhey can win trophies.
He said “In terms of performance, I’ve said many times already, they are higher than my expectation in terms of performance and for sure in terms of points. The main thing is to see how we can continue to improve on the ball and off the ball.
“Conceding three goals against Tottenham the other day; we have just two teams that have conceded less than us. We are attacking and defending well. You are not going to win games, or any titles, just scoring goals – you need to defend.
“Conceding three goals against Spurs, there are just two teams that have conceded less than us. That means defensively we are doing quite well.”
Maresca highlighted that he won’t rush to sign new players in the upcoming January transfer window and he also mentioned that he won’t change how he approach games.
He said “I’ve said many times already about this competition; the main target is to get to the next stage, and then the next one.
“Then when we achieve the next one, the target is to get to the next one. I don’t like to think about four or five months ahead.”
Maresca refused to allow media to influence him regarding his ambitions as they are claims that says he doesn’t want to look into the future.
Manager insisted that he is keen for his players to keep their focus and believes the best way to do this is by taking it one step at a time.
He said “It’s not about ambitions. I am quite ambitious, the players are ambitious, the club is ambitious for the history of the club. In my opinion, if you think in four or five months [ahead], you can lose the focus a little bit on now.”
