Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will face each other in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has told the club’s official website that the fans will play an important role against Chelsea on Wednesday evening.
Spurs will take on London rivals Chelsea at White Hart Lane in the Premier League.
It promises to be a very exciting game of football, one in which there could be a few goals.
Tottenham manager Pochettino has underlined the importance of the home fans in the London derby.
“Like always our fans are great, a fantastic help,” Pochettino told Tottenham’s official website when asked how big a role the Tottenham supporters can play against Chelsea.
“The energy that they translate from the stands is unbelievable and I think all together we can beat Chelsea. We need only to try to spend our energy on trying to prepare for the game in the best condition.”
Chelsea are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 49 points from 19 matches.
Antonio Conte’s side are five points clear of second-placed Liverpool and are firm favourites to win the league title this season.
Tottenham are also in good form and are just outside the Champions League places in fifth place.
Playing at home will give Spurs an advantage, and the fans will play a massive role, especially if Pochettino’s side concede the first goal.
Chelsea have won six successive Premier League away games, conceding just one goal, according to BBC Sport.
Spurs have won four league games in a row, scoring 13 goals in the process and conceding just three, according to BBC Sport.
