Kyle Walker admits he has been surprised by the ferocity of the rivalry between Tottenham and Chelsea ahead of the sides’ crunch Barclays Premier League meeting on Monday night. This season’s been a continuation of that.
Tottenham have not beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge since February 1990, and if they are to repeat the feat they may have to do so without Eric Dier.
Tottenham took on rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge knowing dropped points would end their title challenge and crown Leicester as champions.
