Tottenham ace Modric: We must not take Chelsea lightly

Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric says they must go into their clash with Chelsea not thinking the game is already won.

Much has been made of Chelsea's form of late - four matches without a win in the league - but Modric insists we have to ignore the form book.

"Okay, sure, they have some problems at the moment but that means nothing," he told the Official Spurs Match Programme.

"If we think we will beat them or we are favourites, then it's the wrong attitude.

"We need to give them massive respect but, at the same time, we believe in our strength and quality and we are all determined to beat them at home for the third time in row.

"We know they are a dangerous side full of great players, unbelievable players.

"From that point of view will need to give them full respect but again, when we get out on the pitch we need to play our game, to fight for every ball, to play with confidence and try to beat them again.

"We are in good form and we fear no-one at home."
