Thomas Tuchel is not looking beyond Saturday's trip to Southampton and the lessons he can learn at St Mary's despite a daunting subsequent schedule for Chelsea.
Tuchel is unbeaten as Chelsea coach but will see that record tested in the coming weeks.
They visit struggling Saints this weekend, before visiting Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and then hosting Manchester United in the Premier League.
But Tuchel is keeping his focus on how the Blues can continue to impose themselves on their next opponent.
"We had a big game against Tottenham," he said of the fixture list.
