Spurs vs Chelsea | Ange's preview: "We'll have to be really strong from a collective point of view"
Mon 06 November 2023, 13:45|Tottenham Hotspur
Ange Postecoglou is looking at the collective as we go into battle against Chelsea in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening (Monday, 8pm).
It's four out of four in N17 so far as we've made our best start to a Premier League campaign - eight wins and two draws out of 10 - and, after the weekend's results, we can leapfrog Manchester City to go top again with a win against the Blues.
Now led by a familiar face in Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea sit 13th after an up and down start, but Ange is well aware they possess the quality to hurt any team.
Anytime you play in these kind of games you look forward to them. The atmosphere will be great, we're at home, brilliant for us...
Previewing the match on Inside Spurs, Ange said: "It's a big game, a London derby and Chelsea, traditionally, especially in the last 10, 15 years, have been one of those sides who have been a benchmark for success.
"Anytime you play in these kind of games you look forward to them. The atmosphere will be great, we're at home, brilliant for us... all of our home games so far have been fairly exciting, real engagement from our supporters. I'm looking forward to it, it should be another big night for us.
"They are a good team with some outstanding individual players and we're going to have to be really strong from a collective point of view to overcome that.
"We don't want to turn it into an individual battle, because they have players who can really hurt you, quality all over the park, but, so far, we've been really good in home games, making it difficult for all opposition, limiting their ability to hurt us and also being threatening the other way."
