Roberto Di Matteo claims that Chelsea must make their home advantage count against Tottenham.

Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has said that the club must take advantage of their home form against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The Blues, who remain unbeaten at home in all competitions in 2012, have dropped a total of two points in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in that time. For that reason, the Italian insists that his side are thinking positive.

"It's difficult to come to Stamford Bridge," he said. "We would like to keep that going. We want to take advantage of our home form and our supporters.

"On paper, our fixture list looks the most difficult but we have to believe.

"We're not favourites, but we're not outsiders, we're just in the mix. We're thinking positive, we're thinking to have a good game and to win this match."

Chelsea can move within two points of the top four with a win over Tottenham this afternoon.
