Anelka found himself on the bench against Arsenal last Sunday as two goals from Didier Drogba gave Avram Grant's side a crucial victory over their title rivals.
And the former Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool frontman has revealed he would have no problems sitting on the bench again in Sunday's encounter with Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge, so long as his team picked up the three points.
"Sometimes you play and sometimes you don't," said Anelka. "You have to accept it as a group and realise that the most important thing is that the team wins something.
"There are so many games in a season at Chelsea and everyone will have the chance to contribute.
"I don't think about being a starter - of course I want to play - but I want to help the team win things in the first place, that is the main thing I think about.
"When you play at Chelsea the most important thing is to win games as a team. Now we are in the final moments of the season and we have to win, so if I can do anything to help the team do that, I will do it."
