Revenge is a powerful motivator

Chelsea were battered by Spurs on New Years Day and will not have forgotten that.

The Blues are used to winning their games and keeping clean sheets. They are not used to shipping five goals and having to rely on alphabetical order to remain at the top of the Premier League.

John Terry and Gary Cahill will remember just how humiliating it was at White Hart Lane and know that the best way to get their revenge is to beat Spurs and be the ones on the podium lifting the League Cup. Anything else is simply not an option.
