Chelsea leaders Maurizio Sarri have said his team has gone through a difficult period since Sunday's 6-0 return match to Manchester City.
Before the first leg of the last 32 games of the Europa League tonight in Malmo, Sweden, Sarri has expressed his desire to react to the worst defeat of the Blues in nearly 28 years.
Sarri said: "Not too easy, of course, after a game like Manchester City, it's normal.
"It's not easy to play after 6-0, but we have to play and we have to play well.
"We want to win, we want to react immediately."
Malmo boss Uwe Rosler was delighted by Chelsea's heavy defeat this weekend and thinks his team can reveal some flaws on Sarri's side.
"I was delighted," Rosler said. "It's no secret to me that I'm connected to Manchester City.
"The game they played was the beautiful game we all talk about, this kind of football inspires all the coaches and it was a pleasure to watch this game."
"I do not think we can face Chelsea in an open match.
"It's very important for us to be tomorrow ourselves.I think we'll have opportunities.I have seen areas where we can cause them problems."
Malmo vs. Chelsea will start at 8pm and Express Sport will complete the latest news from the Blues team.
