Chelsea this evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, it appeared as if Spurs would struggle to get the points they needed to secure their place in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-grvmedia-grv-video GRVMultiVideo\"\/>\n<p>However, the Lilywhites now find themselves within touching distance of their goal after picking up eight points in their last four matches, while West Ham lost three in a row.<\/p>\n<p>That means Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s men only need a point in their final two matches to all but secure their place in the top-flight, and one of their former superstars has now sent a message ahead of the London derby.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" loading=\"lazy\"

Stamford Bridge<\/h2>\n<p>Son has confessed that he has been watching closely from across the pond as the Lilywhites fight to avoid going down for the first time in nearly half a century.<\/p>\n<p>The former Tottenham captain admitted that he will be supporting his former teammates tonight and is hopeful they can get the point they need in West London.<\/p>\n<p>Son said (via BBC MOTD): \u201cThe whole season I\u2019ve been watching Spurs, every single game, watching the results, watching the highlights, watching the games as much as I can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpurs is still in my heart, and I\u2019m supporting them, and I hope they can get a good result against Chelsea and stay in the Premier League, which they deserve\u201d \u201cI love them, I love the supporters, I love this club.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-roberto-de-zerbi-says-spurs-will-look-to-beat-chelsea\">Roberto De Zerbi says Spurs will look to beat Chelsea<\/h2>\n<p>Tottenham have a shambolic record at Chelsea, having won just once at Stamford Bridge in 33 visits in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n<p>A point will be enough for the Lilywhites to all but secure their safety, given the 13-goal advantage they have over West Ham on goal difference.<\/p>\n<p>However, De Zerbi has made it clear that Tottenham will look to beat Chelsea and will not go to their rivals\u2019 home ground to play for a draw.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/subscribe\/\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"article-feedback\">\n<div class=\"info\"> <svg
