00:00 Intro
00:15 I agree it's a big game, an exciting game, a chance to go through to the last eight of the Champions League. It'll be a special night. Our thoughts are on being positive and trying to win the game.
1:20 It's always nice to win and everyone is happier when we do. But we have a big challenge ahead. We want to follow it up with another win on Tuesday. That is where the focus is.
2:20 he position we're in, you should always welcome the pressure because it means you're in a fantastic situation, which is to compete in the last eight of the Champions League. It was a special occasion in Dortmund and I'm sure it will be the same at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
3:00 Reece [James], we'll make a decision on him tomorrow. Christian Pulisic is in the squad, but it is too soon for N'Golo [Kante] but he's looking good.
4:45 more on Kante, It's a complex one with him because he has had a long time out. It'll be a case of how we get him back up to speed to play Premier League or Champions League football. He won't be able to go back in for 90 minutes any time soon but the fact he is with us is exciting.
5:30 on Joao Felix, Providing he isn't tackling anyone on the halfway line, we're happy with him! His quality is clear. He makes things happen from an attacking perspective, has hit the bar twice and had other chances. The fact he can play in many positions is good. We've used him more centrally but he can play anywhere in the attacking phase of the game.
6:30 Fans are always entitled to air their views and they are suffering like the rest of us. The reception and support we had was fantastic. They want the team to go through and progress, and they know how important they are. We want to make it tough for Dortmund and they will help do that.
7:30 Like everyone connected with Chelsea, it's better when you win. Everyone is a little happier. The good thing about the job is you always have another game quickly. So as much as you can celebrate the win against Leeds, it's straight onto Dortmund on Tuesday.
9:00 We have to play welll, be positive. It's a special occasion for us to try to get into the last eight of the Champions League. We've had some games where we could've scored more than one and we need that performance tomorrow night.
9:45 The boys are always practicing and we've prepared for that because it is possible. We want to get it done before that but if not, ok, we'll have to go through.
Kai has been the designated penalty taker in the absence of Jorginho.
10:45 The mood has been positive throughout. Not happy, joking and smiling, but there has been a support for each other and a good atmosphere. At the same time, you have to take responsibility that we were not in a good place results perspective. When you win a game, your smile comes back.
