Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has dismissed claims that his team are favourites for their highly anticipated Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite Chelsea’s position as second in the league table, Maresca believes the standings alone don’t guarantee any advantage.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, as shared by sports journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, Maresca remarked, “We are not favourites, I’m sorry. They are playing in European competition like us. We are there, but it’s not because we are second in the table that we are favourites – absolutely not.”
The match is set to be a thrilling encounter, with Chelsea determined to continue their strong form, while Spurs look to climb further up the standings.
Tottenham will host Chelsea on Sunday at 17:30 Nigerian time.
