ENZO MARESCA reckons Chelsea are NOT big favourites against Tottenham today despite being eight points ahead of their bitter rivals.
The free-scoring Blues are now firing on all cylinders under their Italian boss and being tipped as dark horses in the Premier League title race, while Spurs have recorded just one victory the impressive 4-0 demolition of Manchester City - in their past six matches.
Nonetheless, Maresca insists there is not much between the two sides. He said: "We are not favourites, I'm sorry.
"They are playing in European competition like us, we are there but it's not because now we are second in the table that we are favourites absolutely not."
