Enzo Maresca Expresses Concerns Ahead of Tottenham Clash

Chelsea is set to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday night in a Premier League fixture at Tottenham's home ground. The Blues aim to secure a win to maintain their points gap with Liverpool at the top of the league standings.

Tottenham's recent underwhelming performances have led to significant criticism from their supporters, with some fans expressing reluctance to watch the match due to fears of a heavy defeat against Chelsea.

Addressing these sentiments, Maresca stated: "First and foremost, the fans will be present in the stadium; there's no doubt about that. Secondly, we are not the outright favorites to win this match; certainly not. Merely being second in the league standings doesn't guarantee an easy victory."

He further elaborated: "In football, across any season in countries like Spain, Italy, or England, circumstances can change rapidly. We are fully aware of this and don't need the experiences of Tottenham or Postecoglou to understand it."
