  • Intro:

    Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino looks ahead to Wednesday's (3 December) English Premier League match against leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge - where Spurs haven't won since 1990.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: Maurico Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager (on Spurs' poor record against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they haven't won since1990 and were beaten 4-0 last season):

    "I don't read, I don't read about the record of Chelsea. For us, it's important to go and to feel the same mentality that we showed against Everton (Spurs won 2-1 at weekend) and forget the past - we don't need the past to affect our present. We know that in front Chelsea is the best team at the moment in the Premier League, with a very strong squad, an unbelievable team. We know that tomorrow we expect a very tough game."

    SOUNDBITE: Maurico Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager

    "For our players, they are looking forward to going to Stamford Bridge tomorrow, to try to get the three points. We know that's it a difficult stadium because in the last 14 games they (Chelsea) have kept 11 clean sheets. They are not an easy team, but it's exciting to go and play and show our skill and try to get the three points."

    SOUNDBITE: Maurico Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager (on facing Chelsea without Diego Costa who is serving a one-match ban)

    "Diego Costa is a very good player, I know him from Spain. But Chelsea have a strong team and a strong squad. If they don't play Diego Costa they can play (Didier) Drogba or (Loic) Remy. They are different players, with different characteristics - but they are top players too."
