The Blues will be aiming to get the better of the north Londoners at Stamford Bridge for the second time this season after winning 2-1 in the second leg of our Carabao Cup semi-final, a game in which Hazard scored,, as well as reducing the gap between the teams in the Premier League table, when we meet under the lights in SW6 this evening.

Sarri’s side performed well in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, but having eventually suffered disappointment after losing on penalties we will be looking to bounce back quickly tonight.

‘We are all together,’ said Hazard. ‘We are all with the manager. I know this month was a bit hard but we need to be together, stay together, if we want to do something at the end of the season.

‘At the moment we have a bit of pressure because the fans want us to be in the top four, but we’re Chelsea and we can deal with the pressure. We will win games and that’s it.

‘We are there. This is a hard game but we can close the gap a bit on Tottenham. We have the potential to be in the top four but we don’t have to think about that. We just have to think game after game and try to win one more game.

‘We are playing for him [Sarri], the club, the fans and us. It’s not just about the manager. He puts the players on the pitch and then it’s down to the players to take responsibility. On Sunday we played a fantastic game, we need to look at that and try to repeat it. Then the manager will be happy.’
