Chelsea boss Mourinho surprised by their Spurs record

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is surprised by their home record against Tottenham.

Mourinho will look to extend his unbeaten Premier League home record to 75 games against Tottenham, who have not won at Stamford Bridge in 24 years, since February 1990 when Gary Lineker scored the winner.

"Maybe (it is) a coincidence because Tottenham are always a good team, always a difficult opponent," Mourinho said.

"I don't remember in my previous years having an easy match against Tottenham.

"We want to try to win and I believe they want to try the same. We want our top-four position safe.

"And at the moment the biggest threat for that top-four position is Tottenham, because they are fifth and they are the closest team to the top four.

"If we can get a result against them we can say that, almost for sure, our objective of finishing in the top four is in a very good direction."
