Chelsea boss Villas-Boas knows Terry will cop pelters from Spurs fans

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas expects John Terry to cop pelters from Tottenham fans tonight.

Villas-Boas has no concerns about Terry's ability to perform in the game regardless of any reaction by the Tottenham support to news that the Chelsea captain faces charges over an incident at the QPR game earlier this season.

"There is a difficult environment at every Premier League ground and I wouldn't say that for a player of John Terry's experience that would be a problem," Villas-Boas says.

"He has my full support, he has the club's full support and he represents this club to a maximum level. We are very grateful to have a player of this quality in our team and what he represents in terms of history and achievements in this club.

"We know exactly his human values and his personality and for me they are never in doubt and we fully support him."
