The main thing for me is the big picture, so keep calm. We have a good team, if we perform at our level we can win against anyone.Should Chelsea confirm their place in the Europa League semi-finals by completing an aggregate victory over Rubin Kazan on Thursday, the window of opportunity for the Spurs fixture will be small and it will likely take place in the first week of May.You have some bad games and good games but it will be the same for them.The Blues players were given a day off on Monday before travelling to Moscow on Wednesday for Thursday's second leg of their Europa League quarter-final with the Russians, with a 3-1 advantage from the first leg.We have to carry on. We have one game in hand on Tottenham so if we can do well, especially against them, maybe it's a game that can mean six points.Benitez is contemplating some changes at Luzhniki Stadium - Rubin's temporary home and scene of Chelsea's 2008 Champions League final penalty shootout loss to Manchester United - in order to protect his squad for the remainder of the campaign.A date for the Tottenham fixture is still to be determined after Chelsea's progress to Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City forced the game to be rearranged.
