Kyle Walker expecting "difficult" Chelsea clash

Tottenham Hotspur full-back Kyle Walker urges his side to keep the title race alive by ending a 26-year wait for an away win over Chelsea.

Tottenham Hotspur full-back Kyle Walker has said that he is expecting a "difficult" match when his side take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

Spurs have not won an away game against Chelsea for more than 26 years, but need a victory on Monday to take the Premier League title race to the final two games of the season.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have a good record against the big-name clubs in the league this term, and Walker believes that that is another sign of the progress they have made in recent years.

"It's a London derby so it's going to be difficult. They've got world-class players. OK, this season hasn't gone well for them but they are not going to want us to come there to their patch and win. We need to go and show the fighting spirit that we've shown all season and go and get a result there. It's been a long time so hopefully we can put it right," Walker told reporters.

"It's a completely different work ethic now. The lads are much closer. I'm not saying before it didn't hurt but now we've got something to play for. We're going for a title and worst case scenario, hopefully, it's Champions League now.

"Who would have thought I would have been saying that two years ago? It's either the title or worst case scenario Champions League. So it's positives. I think now it's built on good foundations this club. We're not building on sand. We need to keep building. We need to keep reaching to the goal where Tottenham Hotspur should be."

Victory for Spurs would close the gap on leaders Leicester City back to five points going into the final two games of the campaign.
