Chelsea may not be in the Champions League this season, but it has left the Blues with plenty of time to train and focus their attentions on the Premier League.

While Arsenal were preparing to take on Basel in Europe's elite competition on Wednesday, Antonio Conte's men were hard at work at Cobham with one training exercise requiring the team to race each other.

The club's official Instagram account captured the moment as several of the first team crouched down on the pitch and steadied themselves to begin the sprint.

Next to the photo, Chelsea asked their fans: "Who do you think won this race?" to which Cesc Fabregas replied: "Me of course."

The Spaniard was handed his first start in the Premier League this term in Chelsea's 3-0 loss away to Arsenal on Saturday after impressing with two crucial goals in the EFL Cup days earlier.

His place in Conte's starting team to face Hull on Saturday remains a big question, though, as the Italian coach looks to get his side back to winning ways at the KC Stadium.
