“Same on the pitch”- 26-year-old Tottenham star ready for ‘massive fight’ vs Chelsea | OneFootball

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg says Tottenham Hotspur are ready to face Chelsea in London derby

Speaking to Spurs TV (h/t Football.london), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg claims that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to ‘fight’ against Chelsea. The Danish midfielder gave credit to Chelsea but sent out a warning that Spurs are going to go toe-to-toe on Sunday in the London derby.

After a loss and draw in consecutive games, Spurs have been hit with a brutal reality check. They had won their first three league games but the loss to Crystal Palace and draw over Rennes has managed to sour things a bit. It has not been helped by the numerous injuries racking up and Sunday could be a whole different challenge.

Chelsea make the visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a London derby. Not only are Chelsea the current holders of the Champions League but they are also one of the most in-form sides. So far, they have dropped only two points in the league and have looked rather menacing in their games.

26-year-old Spurs star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who scored the equaliser against Rennes, has stayed upbeat despite the recent results. He did acknowledge that Chelsea are a good side but added that Spurs are also ready to take the game to their London rivals (h/t Football.london).
