Pochettino has agreed a two-year contract extension to his existing deal, meaning he is contracted until 2021.
“I am surprised at what Eden has said”, Dembele said in The Sun. I was thinking: ‘Oh, Ok. So I won’t know the result. A lot of has changed since then and Chelsea have won every trophy possible whereas Spurs on the other hand haven’t enjoyed anywhere near the same amount of success.
“I am convinced he didn’t think about what he said. We are the youngest squad in the league”.
“Now I’ve just got a push-bike”. “At the end highly emotional, there was a bit of verbal animosity and I tried to come in between and protect a bit and go into the locker room”.
Mauricio Pochettino is aware that his side face a hard task in overcoming the Blues at Stamford Bridge, but has revealed that the Chelsea players’ taunts against his title chasing side have given them a massive boost in their pursuit of victory over the soon-to-be-deposed reigning champions.
Chelsea begin the match 22 points behind their opponents but Walker is under no illusions about the test that lies ahead.

The Argentinian said: “It was a derby, we were fighting to win the title and Chelsea were fighting to try and win”. It is important that we are not wasting time with rumours and different things.
Tottenham need to make history to prevent history being made.
Tottenham ended up with nine players in referee Mark Clattenburg’s book and were lucky to have 11 men on the field at the end after a series of ugly exchanges. “The lads are much closer. I would’ve loved to have gone into the next round of Champions League and the FA Cup final – if that had happened I would give myself a 10 plus”.
“Of course it was a very emotional and hectic game”, said Hiddink.
Dennis Mistry, 46, paid tribute to Ranieri for guiding the Foxes to within grasping distance of a league title.
