Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood believes that the pressure is off his side when they visit Chelsea this evening.

Spurs haven't won at Stamford Bridge since 1990, while Blues boss Jose Mourinho is protecting a 74-game unbeaten streak at home, and Sherwood feels that his side can go to their London neighbours with no fear.

Sherwood told reporters: "We have to go there and impose ourselves and hopefully we can get a positive result, but there is absolutely no pressure on the boys, is there?

"Our record is so bad that we can go there and take the shackles off and enjoy the day.

"The only people that expect us to win are inside our dressing room."

Spurs are currently fifth in the Premier League.
