Thomas Tuchel has reassured Chelsea fans they will be doing everything to beat Tottenham next week after the German had previously admitted having a soft spot for their bitter rivals.
Back in 2016, Tuchel's Borussia Dortmund drew Spurs in the last-16 of the UEFA Europa League and at the time he spoke of his affection for the White Hart Lane club growing up in the Bavarian town of Krumbach.
'As a little kid, in my garden, when I played [football] I was always [playing] as a team from the Bundesliga but there was one game when I played as Tottenham Hotspur because I liked the name so much,' he said in 2016.
