David Luiz doesn't mind hectic Chelsea schedule

Chelsea defender David Luiz is determined to keep on playing regular games for his side this season despite their hectic schedule.

The Blues' qualification for the quarter-finals of the Europa League has added to their lengthy fixture list which still includes the FA Cup as well as the Premier League.

Luiz told the club's official website: "I want to end this week with a great result on Sunday. It's a difficult game but we play at home and need to win.

"My legs are good, I am 25 years old. Sometimes if you have more players to change it is much easier to help the team, but this year we don't have too many players.

"But I want to play. I want to be on the pitch. Sometimes I am tired, but when I'm on the bench I don't feel tired, I love to play football."

Chelsea face West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.
