Eriksen insists Spurs won't suffer Wembley stage fright

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen says they won't suffer stage fright against Chelsea in today's Capital One Cup final.

The Denmark midfielder will be a key component if Spurs are to beat London rivals Chelsea and collect their first trophy in seven years.

"When you get the results that we did last season when we lost with heavy scores against the bigger teams... Now this season we have started winning against teams we didn't win against last season. That gives us a boost but also the confidence and everyone knows we can play against bigger teams.

"If you have a plan from a manager you know what to do, and what you're capable of and you just want to show it. You get the confidence from the manager to do what you're good at - that definitely helps you."
