On Tuesday, Chelsea braved the elements to make sure nothing was overlooked in preparation for Thursday's clash with Tottenham.

Maurizio Sarri's men must eliminate a 1-0 deficit in the first leg this week to qualify for the Carabao Cup final.

An isolated goal from Harry Kane, who will be away due to an injury to Stamford Bridge's shock this week, was enough to separate the two teams last time and give Spurs the advantage.

On Tuesday, the Blues defied the elements as Sarri led his team's training session at the Cobham Training Complex as part of his bid.

Chelsea lost to another of their London rivals, Arsenal, last weekend. They hope that a win against Mauricio Pochettino's team will help him get their season back on track.

Chelsea's talisman, Eden Hazard, confessed on Tuesday that he has frustrated and will continue to frustrate many managers in West London.

"I have frustrated all my managers and now I continue to frustrate Sarri," he said.

"I'm frustrated (Jose) Mourinho. They think I have to score more, do more of this or that. And the next coach, I will frustrate him too.

Speaking of the first leg against the Spurs, Hazard said, "At some point, everyone loses. Against Tottenham, we had the right to be disappointed, but honestly, I had a good time.

"I was not happy because we lost, but deep inside me, I was happy to play and play.

"It's also what the coach said and I like that."
