Mauricio Pochettino launched the FA Cup mind games by turning up the pressure on Chelsea and hailing them favourites.
Tottenham have won seven in a row in the Premier League, a run of form which has closed the gap at the top of the table to four points.
Leaders Chelsea have lost two of their last four games and Spurs can test their nerves again in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, on Saturday.
'If there's a favourite it is Chelsea,' said Pochettino.
