Despite being the visiting team and the good form of Spurs at the moment, the Blues will fancy their chances of picking up all three points from the London derby at White Hart Lane on Wednesday evening.

Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Wilkins has stated that he wants Tottenham to win in order to maintain interest in the Premier League title race this season.

“As far as the Premier League is concerned and I’m a Chelsea fan, but we need Tottenham to beat Chelsea to keep it alive because at the moment, they are absolutely outstanding,” Wilkins told Sky Sports.
