Christian Pulisic says Chelsea are 'confident and excited' for Thursday's meeting with Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues head into the clash on the black of a 2-0 win over Burnley, the first under new manager Thomas Tuchel.

A win over Spurs would significantly help Chelsea's top-four chances, and Pulisic says his teammates are embracing the moment.

"It's a good time to play them coming off a good result for us," Pulisic told the club's website.

"We're feeling confident. We're really excited. It's a good chance to make a statement and most importantly really build some momentum.

"We know what a good result against a good team could do for us."
