Match Preview Harry Kane hopes Diego Costa's suspension can give Tottenham Hotspur an edge over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Costa picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign at Sunderland and will miss the match, with Loic Remy or Didier Drogba likely to come in. The Spain international has 11 goals in as many top-flight matches this term but Kane is hopeful a resurgent Spurs side can make the most of his absence and record a fourth consecutive win in all competitions. BPL successes over Hull City and Everton have elevated Mauricio Pochettino's men into seventh place despite an inconsistent start to the season and Kane, who has also become a more prominent figure at White Hart Lane this term, hopes Costa's absence can give his team-mates an extra boost. "We're full of confidence. Obviously we are coming off three wins in a row now in all competitions, so we'll take that confidence into the game on Wednesday," he said. "We're looking to get the result. Chelsea are going to be trying to do the same at home, but they are missing their main man up front. So they have to change a few things, and we're feeling good. "The Chelsea game is not the be-all or end-all, but it would add to the great momentum we have at the moment if we could beat them." Saturday's draw at the Stadium of Light was only the third time Chelsea have failed to win in the league this season and they have a six-point cushion over Manchester City going into the midweek fixtures. Jose Mourinho's title-chasers have not conceded in three consecutive outings and boast an impressive record in home games against Spurs. Tottenham Hotspur have yet to record a BPL win at Stamford Bridge, last beating Chelsea away from home in February 1990. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will likely play a key role in maintaining that record for Chelsea and the Belgian feels Wednesday's clash is the start of a significant period. "It's an important week with two difficult games," he told Chelsea's official website. "First a derby against Tottenham in front of our own fans and then we go away to Newcastle, which will be tough. It's an important month and we will try to win as many games as we can." Mourinho has no fresh injury worries although Kyle Walker (groin) remains some way off a return for Pochettino. http://m.premierleague.com/en-gb/matches/2014-2015/epl.summary.html/chelsea-vs-spurs |
