Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is doing all he can to end Tottenham's UEFA Cup dream.

The billionaire Russian is rolling out the red carpet for Spur's UEFA Cup opponents Spartak Moscow as they prepare for next week's clash, says the Daily Mail.

Spartak arrive in London on Thursday and will prepare for the game at Chelsea's Cobham training complex.

And, knowing they are short of match practise as the Russian side goes into the fourth week of their winter close season, Abramovich has arranged for them to play Chelsea reserves on Saturday.

Spartak sources said: "Blood is thicker than water. Roman is helping the Russian team as much as he can. We will be very well prepared for this game."
