Eden Hazard has warned Tottenham that Chelsea are looking to get revenge tonight, but admits they will have to match their best performance of the season to get it.

Chelsea take on Spurs at Wembley in the League Cup semi-final just over six weeks since the north London club handed them their first defeat of the season at the national stadium.

The manner of the 3-1 loss in the top flight was so bad that Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri has revealed it 'destroyed his players', meaning Tottenham have a huge psychological advantage going into the first leg.

Chelsea have struggled for form ever since, although did raise their game last month to become the first Premier League side to win against Man City.

Hazard feels Chelsea need a similar display this evening and told Standard Sport: "My first thought when we got them in the draw was this is a chance to get a bit of revenge.

"They are very good at the moment, the other day they won 7-0 (against Tranmere). Okay, they lost recently against Wolves, but they are in good confidence and have top players.

"Do we have to play at the same level we reached against Manchester City to beat them? Yes. We must play all together, to have the desire to win with the ball and without the ball.

"We have shown against Manchester City and Liverpool (earlier in the competition) that we can be one of the best teams in Europe and we need to do it again."

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is the joint top scorer in the Premier League this term, with one of his 14 goals coming in that victory over the Blues.

Defender David Luiz says Chelsea will do their utmost to stop the England star, but insists they can't ignore the other talent in Mauricio Pochettino's side.

He added: "I think Harry is a fantastic striker, but they have more than just Harry. We know that and have prepared the game in a quality way, not just an individual way.

"Kane is doing amazing, not just for one game, but I think for many. Of course he is one of the best strikers in the world and it is difficult to play against him.

"I think the first thing to do to stop him is to try to understand how he is playing, how the team is playing for him and try to read the quality plan before the individual action.

"If you don't give him the opportunity to touch many balls, I think it will be more difficult for him.

But it’s not one secret. Harry is an amazing player, like Tottenham have many fantastic players."

The return match will be at Stamford Bridge in a fortnight, but Hazard says Chelsea must go on the attack this evening.

"We want to get a good result in the first game because we don't want to be playing catch-up for the second leg," he said.

"If we are ahead by one goal it is obviously better to come back to Chelsea, knowing we have won the first game. We will go there to win the game and then let’s see what happens in the second leg."

Willian (calf) and Mateo Kovacic (illness) are in contention to be recalled to the Chelsea starting line-up, while Pedro (hamstring) and Olivier Giroud (ankle) are back in the squad.
