The intensity stepped up in training on Thursday as Liam Rosenior led his squad in preparations for this weekend's Premier League trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers at a wet and chilly Cobham.
The Premier League is back at the top of the Blues' agenda, following our midweek Carabao Cup semi-final, with two games coming up in the space of four days. Next week brings a home game against old rivals Leeds United, but before then comes a trip to Wolves for a traditional 3pm Saturday kick-off.
Rosenior has asked for a reaction from his players after Tuesday's cup exit to Arsenal, and set about putting the building blocks in place to bounce straight back with a victory in the Midlands, at Cobham on Thursday.
After a day of recovery yesterday following those exertions at the Emirates Stadium, it was full speed ahead in training on Thursday as the preparations ramped up for Wolves.
Here are some of our favourite images from today's session at Cobham...
