Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will both be targeting maximum points when they meet in a crucial Premier League derby at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Blues are currently at the top of the table with 63 points from 28 matches following last weekend’s 3-1 win over Fulham in another London derby.
Jose Mourinho’s side are unbeaten at home at this season but will need to do more than avoid a loss on Saturday with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City breathing down their necks.
Spurs on the other hand registered a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cardiff City in their last league outing to remain in fifth place with 53 points, still within reach of the coveted top-four finish.
The Lilywhites have already recorded a historic away win over Manchester United this season and captain Michael Dawson is hopeful that the result will inspire his side ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.
“It had been a long time since we had won at Old Trafford – 24 years I think it was – but we went there and won two on the bounce so records are there to be broken and hopefully we can do that again on Saturday night,” he said.
“The top four is our aim. At the start of the season we set out our goals; to win a trophy, to be in the top four. We are still in with a great shout of doing that.”
When the two sides met at White Hart Lane earlier this season the match ended in a 1-1 draw with John Terry cancelling Gylfi Sigurdsson’s opener.
