Jose Mourinho has complete confidence in his defence ahead of Chelsea's trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Barclays Premier League on Sunday.

The teams’ previous encounter at White Hart Line resulted in an eight-goal thriller, with Mauricio Pochettino's team ending a run of nine top-flight meetings without a win against their London rivals by prevailing 5-3.

This season, Chelsea have conceded 23 goals in 13 league fixtures, the sixth-worst record in the division. But successive clean sheets in wins over Norwich City and Maccabi Tel Aviv havepleased Mourinho, who is certain they will be ready for another trip to north London, despite concerns over the fitness of John Terry."I have complete trust in Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma, which is why in an important match for us on Tuesday I left Kurt out after the good performances he is having to show Gary that confidence," Mourinho said. "They are ready.
I am not saying Papy Djilobodji is ready because he did not have chances to play and his is a different situation, but Zouma and Cahill are both ready and if John doesn't play, I go with them."I don't want to say that it is impossible he plays because maybe he plays and people will say that I was hiding it, and I am not hiding.

Today he didn't train but we have a little hope that it is possible."The Chelsea manager also disclosed his doubts over the condition of Ramires and Radamel Falcao, while ruling Thibaut Courtois out of a return at White Hart Lane."Ramires is the same situation as John, I don't know, let's wait and see. He has a chance," he said. "Falcao is still in recovery and Courtois is training with the team but not playing Sunday.

He is making good progress."Having ensured UEFA Europa League progression with victory over Qarabag in midweek, confidence at Spurs is high. Pochettino's team could go 13 BPL matches unbeaten for the first time against the defending champions and have avoided defeat in 18 of their last 20 top-flight matches on home soil.

Pochettino is calling on the fans to provide the players with the energy needed following a congested week."We know it's a tough game and a derby,” he toldspurs.co.uk. “We need our supporters to send the best energy because it's an important game for them and us."We need energy because it's a Sunday morning, flying back [from Azerbaijan on Thursday] and no day to prepare for the game.

"They have very good players, a great manager, and it's always tough. They have time to recover points in the table."Nabil Bentaleb (ankle) and Erik Lamela (groin) could be in line for a return to the squad, but the match will come too soon for Nacer Chadli (ankle) and Dele Alli will miss out through suspension.

Tottenham Hotspur(from): Lloris, McGee, Vorm, Alderweireld, Davies, Dier, Fazio, Rose, Trippier, Vertonghen, Walker, Wimmer, Bentaleb, Carroll, Dembele, Eriksen, Lamela, Mason, Onomah, Son, Townsend, Winks, Kane, N'Jie.

And then I bcame dickstracted. Ehn ehn, 2 d topic, If Chelsit put Miguel Fadatwin in d squad, they can get a draw, if they drop him, Tottenham will win.

Hmmm, Chelsea should win this one after all the deliverance sessions Mourinho has had recently.
