De Zerbi urges Tottenham to draw inspiration from the tension of the fight against relegation

Tottenham are just two points above West Ham United in the last relegation place and need two points from their last two matches to guarantee staying up. Yet one point could suffice because of their much better goal difference.

Tottenham who dropped out of the top division in 1977 face their capital city opponents Chelsea this evening and are likely to hear many songs about their bad season.

We need to locate fresh drive within this stressful position said the manager from Italy to the media on the day before.

If all hope for Tottenham to be sent down this provides strong encouragement for myself and hopefully my team too

We must recognise that the game brings joy because of competition. It is positive to think about marking success at their ground after the match.

Pride serves as superb encouragement. That sense of pride knowing everyone wishes relegation upon Tottenham I feel should be the strongest possible drive for every Tottenham player every supporter and all the workers at the club

Tottenham finish their campaign at home to Everton next Sunday. West Ham have a final home match versus Leeds United.
