Former Chelsea defender Graeme Le Saux believes Tottenham can beat his old team in their FA Cup semifinal.

Chelsea and Spurs take a break from their Premier League title race as they face off in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

"Spurs were absolutely phenomenal last week against Bournemouth - they were more than worth their 4-0 win and for me they are a brilliant side both in and out of possession," Le Saux told Betfair's blog.

"The word that comes to mind when I see that Spurs team in action is collaboration - they all know their jobs and what's expected of them and they work tirelessly both when they have the ball and when they don't.

"I think this will be a tactically fascinating game and I can't wait to see how Spurs line up - their best performance of the season was their 2-0 win over the Antonio Conte's men, and they're able to play with a back three and a back four adroitly.

"Although the bigger pitch might prove a slight problem for Spurs as it has done in the past - they've won just once at Wembley since 2008 - I still slightly favour them. They're just playing so well at the moment. As a result I think I favour a 2-1 Spurs win."
