Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is under no illusions of the threat Chelsea pose despite their fractured start to the campaign.

Tottenham host Chelsea in the first ever Premier League game to be played at Wembley as their new stadium on the site of White Hart Lane is being built.

They have won just one of their last nine games at the national stadium, losing three matches to Chelsea in that time.

While the Blues are facing a number of issues - including Diego Costa's unrest, Conte's unease at the size of his squad and a shock opening weekend home defeat to Burnley - Pochettino knows they are still a major threat.

"It is true that Costa is not here but it is Alvaro Morata, Michy Batshuayi and I think that they have signed players and the quality of the squad is very good," he added.

"It is true that last week they had a problem but in football always the next game will be different and complicated and tough.

"The most important thing is to be focused on us and if they play with a back three or four or five, two midfielders or one, two or three strikers - that is their problem.

"For us, it is to be sure that we need to improve every week and show our best quality to try and win because we are going to play against the last Premier League champions."
