With a 1-0 victory already sealed in the first leg, Chelsea will not expect too many problems when they host Sparta Prague in the round of 32 second-leg encounter of the Europa League.

The crucial away goal, scored by Oscar, will mean that Sparta will have to score at least one to have any chance of progressing into the next round, while Chelsea are likely to get on the scoresheet as well, making the tie well in the Blues' control.

Rafa Benitez might not be the most popular manager with the Chelsea faithful, but the Spaniard knows how to get the proper result from such games, and everyone around west London should expect a comfortable European night.

John Terry, who might finally get a start in the game Thursday, wants his side to end the season on a high, with the Europa League providing the Blues the perfect opportunity to grab some silverware.

"This season has been a little disappointing, we've let Man U get so many points ahead of us, but everyone is dropping points and we can still easily get second place," Terry said on the English Premier League race. "If we can go on a run, with the two boys back from the African Nations, we have a real chance.

"We want to finish as high as we can to compete at the top level. Once we were out of the Champions League we said to each other not to dwell on it and let's go and win the Europa League.

"Thursday night proved to be a tough game and there are still some big teams left. Ideally it isn't where we want to be but that's why we're pushing in the Premier League to get as high as we can.

"Every year we want to win trophies. When you're knocked out of one you're in it to win the next one.

"The Europa League, top four, we want to be as high as possible, top two would be great, but every competition we're in, we're in to win, and we have the squad to do that."

Demba Ba is cup-tied, although Benitez will have the services of John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses, along with David Luiz, who was suspended for the last fixture.

Expected lineups: Chelsea: Cech; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Ramires; Moses, Oscar, Hazard; Torres.

Sparta: Vaclik; Zapotocny, Svejdik, Holek, Hybs; Husbauer, Vacha, Matejovsky, Kadlec, Lafata; Krejci.

Prediction: 2-0 to Chelsea
