Chelsea ace Hakim Ziyech expects a controlled performance tonight against Tottenham.

After a goalless draw in his first experience of the game as a London derby, Ziyech expects a more controlled display from the visitors in N17 tonight.

"I think you will see a Chelsea that attacks more and controls the game more," he told the club's website. "That's what we've tried to do in the last two games, to play with possession and from there try to attack a lot.

"When we played them last time, it was against a team that really played on the counter with quick people on the sides but really staying compact so there was not a lot of space for us. It then is the job to keep the ball and let the ball do the work, move it quick and in the end spaces will come."

A possession-based approach has been part of the early blueprint on show from Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea and Ziyech admits the players have enjoyed getting to grips with the Bavarian's methods and ideas.

"It's been good so far," he added. "We've had a good week. It's not always nice when a manager leaves and a new one comes in but he's brought his new ideas and everybody is excited to work under him.

"The training has been different and in the last two games our formation and playing style was different as well so he really has his own ideas about the game. For us, it's important to adapt quickly to it, to focus on the games and to follow the information the coach is giving us so we play how he wants us to play."
