Spurs defender Vertonghen: Chelsea clash massive to top four hopes

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen admits their top four hopes are on the line this weekend against Chelsea.

Vertonghen is braced for a battle against international team-mate Eden Hazard, but acknowledged Chelsea boast plenty other threats too.

"He is in good form and we will need to defend well against him," Vertonghen said.

"But it is not only Hazard. Andre Schurrle scored three times against Fulham, they have midfielders who can score goals and they are strong from set-plays.

"It will be an important game for both of us and we want a good result."
