"We will play with a lot more confidence", Belgium worldwide Vertonghen said when asked how the Tottenham side of March 2015 compares with the team today.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright admits that "everything" about Tottenham has impressed him this season as they look to chase down Chelsea at the top of the Premier League.

Both Rashford and Herrera excelled, scoring early in each half to leave Chelsea just four points clear of in-form pursuers Tottenham Hotspur.

Goaded by Chelsea's fans and players they burst into a 2-0 lead but ended up drawing 2-2 in a game that spiralled out of control and ended with nine Spurs players booked.

"Saturday will have nothing to do with the League", the Chelsea stalwart added. But odd things can happen when the pressure reaches it's greatest intensity and there was certainly something unusual about Chelsea at Old Trafford yesterday. With six games to play, the champions may well be decided by what happens at Wembley.

"If you analyse where we came from, it's a fantastic time for Tottenham", he told reporters. A big worry for Chelsea is also their slightly poor goal scoring form as key man Diego Costa is now in a five game goal drought.

In February, Mattis called Iran "the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world". They are among 50 that Israel has agreed to buy from USA aerospace giant Lockheed Martin.

"If Spurs can get a good result over Chelsea and give them a good turning over, it may, psychologically, do that extra little bit that tips the scales their way". We spent a lot of energy fighting against Leicester, but (also) against West Bromwich, against Chelsea, against the media, against the people.

Tottenham's incessant pursuit and impressive recent form has given them hope of a first league title since 1961, but if they are to achieve that, they will have to win on Saturday.

"They have to go and win that FA Cup". Goals from Pedro and Victor Moses dragged Conte's side from a goal down to win 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on November 26, while two headers from Dele Alli sent Chelsea to defeat at White Hart Lane on January 4. Of their two games on the road, only the trip to Everton on 30 April is against a club looking to secure a place in European competition next season. Naturally, though, on his first start in nearly five weeks, Kane netted his 25th goal in all competitions this season three minutes into the second half.

He said that he thought Mauricio Pocchettino's players were "very good" and admitted that his own charges were not "so good", also saying that, that's "not a good mix" when coming up against a team like Spurs, especially at home.
