"The most important thing is to win this game, and then wait to see what happens. We don't want to worry about Chelsea's game, but we know it will be better for both of us to be qualified before we play each other again," he said.
"If we get there earlier, we'll have done a good job when you consider when we began this competition.
"We try to play the same way in the Premiership and Champions League. We know we're playing better in the Champions League because we're winning more games.
"We created a lot of chances against them in Belgium. We didn't score a second which encouraged Anderlecht to keep going forward. They attacked at the end, but we still did enough to win.
"I'm sure Anderlecht will attack. Their full-backs like to attack, and sometimes when the pressure is off a team they are more dangerous.
"When you have to play two games in three days it's never easy, so we know it can help to qualify quicker.
It will help us change players more and possibly give us the option of giving younger players European experience.
"The Premiership is more physical, but in the Champions League it's more tactical. In Europe you need the brain and the muscle.
"You have to learn from mistakes but also keep going after good games.
"We've trained only twice this year with the whole squad, and yesterday was one of those days."
