Chelsea legend Joe Cole has identified Pedro Neto, Jamie Gittens, and Estevao as the three players the Blues will rely on to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League clash on Saturday.
Chelsea are set to travel to north London for a crucial encounter against Thomas Frank’s Spurs. Tottenham currently sit third in the Premier League table, while Chelsea occupy ninth place after a disappointing 2-1 defeat to newly promoted Sunderland last weekend.
Speaking to newsmen, Cole said Chelsea’s wide players will be crucial to their chances of victory.
“Chelsea going to Spurs has traditionally been a comfortable game for the club over the years,” he said.
“If Chelsea are going to beat Spurs at the weekend, you’re relying on players like [Pedro] Neto, who’s been brilliant, Jamie Gittens, who scored a goal and got an assist at Wolves, and Estevao.
“The goals will come from wide, for Chelsea, and the midfield. Enzo’s been chipping in, but it’s a real tough game for Chelsea.”
Chelsea will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways, while Tottenham hope to continue their fine run of form.
