What do you think they can achieve this season, in terms of league finish and cup runs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, first I\u2019m very pleased that the squad has settled down. Everybody looks happy, there are no bad rumours, there is no one wanting to leave. We\u2019ve got probably the best player in the league now in Cole Palmer and everything is going very smoothly, I think. I think Chelsea have two or three options. I think the European competition, they\u2019re the favourites so it\u2019s a great option for them to win it.<\/p>\n<p>And then I think what Maresca said the other day about not being a title contender, he\u2019s using common sense and saying \u2018okay, I need to set the basics for the next few years to be able to compete\u2019. That doesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019s not going to try to win it. He\u2019s going to try to win it, but you know we\u2019ve got Man City. Okay, apart from these last six or seven games, they\u2019ve been there all the time. A very good Liverpool, who are top of the league and an Arsenal team that have been playing under the same manager for four or five years and trying to challenge for that.<\/p>\n<p>So to ask this Chelsea team to be a title contender, I think is a little bit unfair. Saying that, what we\u2019re seeing looks good because remember everything we were saying about Chelsea last year. That they were too young, had no leaders, blah blah blah. They are a year older, they are playing together, they are enjoying themselves. They\u2019ve got a leader on the pitch as a footballer like Cole Palmer. So there are plenty of things that have improved dramatically. So I think the future possibility of winning the title looks closer than it was last year.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"PALMER\"><\/a><strong>Cole Palmer has found himself being fouled more frequently in the Premier League this season. What can he do to ensure he is still having the same impact on Chelsea&#8217;s team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think he\u2019s finding the way. I thought it would be more difficult for him this year because of everything he did last year. And because of the position he plays, how he understood the game, how he learned the game at Manchester City it gave him the chance to find the spaces anyway and affect the game. I\u2019ve said to others before, I knew he was good, but I didn\u2019t know he was that good. And the quality that he is showing every week, for me he is the best player in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ANGE\"><\/a><strong>Tottenham are in their second season under Ange Postecoglou. What are you making of the team he is building at the club?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think they are capable of everything. They can beat anyone in the world easily, and then they can have 45 minutes that will make you say \u2018well, what happened?\u2019 like Brighton for example. So I think they are a bit better in terms of consistency, but they are still not consistent enough. Someone you go to watch them and, okay, you\u2019re going to see goals for sure. But you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. I still believe that Ange is going to do something special, I don\u2019t know why. When a coach comments like he did saying that in his second year he always wins something, to say that you need to really believe in that. So let\u2019s wait and see.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"MADDISON\"><\/a><strong>James Maddison looks to have found his way back into Postecoglou&#8217;s first-choice XI. What does he bring to Tottenham&#8217;s team that they might not get from anyone else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think he\u2019s got a lot of qualities, tremendous quality on the ball, he\u2019s outstanding. So I think the situation was, that when he arrived he had a big impact. Then he started playing this season. Like any other player, you can have a little bit of a bad time. Whatever it is, it could be a pain, it could be problems, it could be illness. We don\u2019t know. The coach made a decision, that we didn\u2019t know why, to put him on the bench for a few games. And he came back stronger and he came back better, and accepting that responsibility and being a proper professional. So I think he\u2019s going to be a very good player for the next few years for Spurs. And it\u2019s nice to see a player of that quality accepting what\u2019s happening during the season, that it can happen to anyone.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"RIVALRY\"><\/a><strong>As someone who played for both Chelsea and Tottenham, and received the backlash from it, where would you rank this fixture among Chelsea&#8217;s rivalries?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good question. I think it became bigger in the years after I left. When I was at Chelsea, I don\u2019t think our biggest rivals were Spurs. I said it, and I believe it. And if somebody says differently, okay, I accept their opinion. But in the dressing room, our biggest rivals weren\u2019t Spurs. I think it became bigger and bigger from those fights at Stamford Bridge when (Mauricio) Pochettino was the coach at Spurs and there were so many issues. And also (Thomas) Tuchel and (Antonio) Conte. And it became a bigger and bigger game.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/preview\/tottenham-vs-chelsea\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham vs Chelsea prediction, stats, tips &amp; team news<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But we need to remember that Spurs\u2019 biggest rivals are Arsenal. So we try to make something out of it because it\u2019s London and it\u2019s a big game. Saying that, the way Chelsea are playing at the moment and what I told you about Spurs, there\u2019s going to be goals. I will be very surprised, and the betting companies are probably going to pay out a fortune for nil-nil because nobody is going to put nil-nil for this game. I\u2019m going to be lucky, I\u2019m going to be there watching it live and it\u2019s going to be very special to see if I can keep learning from the coaches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From what you&#8217;ve seen so far, who do you think are better placed to finish in the top four this season? Chelsea or Tottenham?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s Chelsea. I think they\u2019re more consistent. I\u2019m not saying they\u2019re a better team, but they\u2019re more consistent and that takes you places. You win more games than you lose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How far are both sides from challenging for the title?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t be the title in Tottenham\u2019s future at the moment. First they need to win cups. They need to win trophies, you need to feel like a winner. I think if you asked me this question about Chelsea in the summer, I\u2019d have said to you it could be three, four, five, six years, I don\u2019t know. Now seeing the basics, the team is settled. I think if this young team, that is a year older every year, is developing and adding the right pieces, I think that maybe the wait to challenge for the title should be shorter. I think it could be closer than what we thought a few months ago.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"STRIKERS\"><\/a><strong>If you were building a team to challenge in the Premier League, who would you rather have leading the line? Dominic Solanke or Nicolas Jackson?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It depends on how you play. I think there are certain similarities between the players, but I think one needs more space than the other because the ability of one is stronger in the air than the other. So it depends on how you play. It\u2019s not that simple. It\u2019s not only about being a No.9 and scoring goals, it\u2019s about the way you play and how you can provide options for that player to score.<\/p>\n<p>I always say the same example. If you\u2019re going to go with a big striker, the old-fashioned English striker, and you\u2019re not going to cross, then I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to score a lot. Now you can have the best old-fashioned striker, but you need to cross. So there are certain things that you need to play for the striker. So I would say it depends on how you play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gus Poyet was speaking to Squawka <a href=\"http:\/\/betvictor.com\/en-gb\/sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on behalf of BetVictor.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gus Poyet spoke to Squawka about the upcoming Premier League clash between the two.
