'We don't need Ange Postecoglou's experience!' - Enzo Maresca fires warning to Chelsea players as he insists Tottenham are favourites for London derby

Premier League

Chelsea

Wolverhampton

Europa League

Hoffenheim

Tottenham

<p>Tottenham Hotspur have been in terrible form over the last month or so with Ange Postecoglou's side winning only twice since the start of November. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been great this season and sit pretty in second place in the Premier League standings. However, Maresca has claimed that Tottenham will hold the upper hand when Chelsea travel to north London on Sunday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to the media, Maresca said: "First of all, the fans are going to be there, no doubt. And second, we are not favourite, absolutely not. They are playing European competition, like us, we are there. But not because we are second in the table, we are favourite, absolutely not."</p>

WHAT MARESCA SAID

<p>Chelsea are being touted as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/enzo-maresca-transformed-chelsea-genuine-premier-league-title-contenders-liverpool/blt863260f9b5552074" target="_blank">potential Premier League title rivals for Liverpool</a> after their strong start to the season, similar to Tottenham at the start of 2023-24 before they eventually faltered and failed to even finish in the top four. Maresca has claimed that they are not looking at Spurs' collapse as they prepare for the rest of the season.</p><p>He said: "I don’t think we need Ange’s experience or Tottenham’s experience to understand things can change quick. Every season in football, in England, in Spain, in Italy, every country, things can change quick."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After taking on Tottenham, Chelsea will return to Conference League action on Thursday with a trip to Kazakhstan to face Astana.</p>
