The Tottenham players were back on the training pitch at Hotspur Way earlier today as part of their preparations for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Chelsea.
The derby is always a huge match for both sets of supporters, however, this fixture has added importance with Spurs looking to keep the pressure on Newcastle United in the race for a top four finish while Chelsea continue to struggle and currently find themselves down in tenth position, eleven points behind their opponents and have played a game less.
