The match will take place at White Hart Lane.
Incidentally, Tottenham have been well backed for the Premier League title in recent weeks and we’ve cut them from 33/1 to 16/1.
He said: “It was hard for him because he was very upset and didn’t speak”.
“If they say they are fighting for the title, I would not laugh”. I’d accept it because the team is very good.
“But I am very happy here at Tottenham”. Chelsea will have to play better than they have all season to win at Spurs and Mourinho can only hope that he and Chelsea are through the worst of it. But I think they have got enough about them to go to White Hart Lane and pick up a point. But the short turnaround from playing in Azerbaijan on Thursday night to competing in a London derby at midday on Sunday is, manager Mauricio Pochettino has conceded, hardly ideal preparation.
Kane has come “to epitomise Pochettino’s team, leading from the front with boundless enthusiasm”, says Jolly. The objective is gone now.
Of the last 17 players to make their England debuts, nine of them have been managed by Pochettino. Now our mentality is every time we play we need to show we have the quality to win every game.
Spurs will also be missing key personnel as young midfielder Dele Alli is suspended.
They managed to end a three-game losing streak in the league by beating Norwich 1-0 last Saturday and then followed that up with a 4-0 Champions League victory at Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday so they might have turned a corner.
Dier faced Costa in last season’s Capital One Cup final and, although the Spain worldwide scored in Chelsea’s win, earned praise for the way he handled him. The Blues are 15 in the Premier League but the Portuguese boss is confident he can turnaround the situation with his current squad.
“With the new stadium, we’re going in the right direction”.

“We are in November and we are all focused on doing our job the best we can”. You have to anticipate and read the game faster. It would also be another near-fatal blow to Chelsea’s own chances of finishing in the top four this season, and plunge the club back into crisis, so it is little wonder Mourinho is conspicuously amping up the mental tension for Tottenham’s players in his own way.
