Jermain Defoe believes that Tottenham Hotspur can snatch three points from Chelsea at White Hart Lane this evening.

The striker, who has been ruled out of the highly-anticipated match due to a hamstring injury, is confident that Harry Redknapp's side can pull off a convincing win.

"I think it's a massive, massive game," Defoe told the club's official website. "All we want to do is just keep winning games, keep getting points, always looking forward to the next game.

"Chelsea are a good side, we know that. They're challenging for the same things as us so it's massive but everyone's looking forward to it.

"The lads are well prepared, everyone's ready and it's game I believe we can win. We always play well against Chelsea at home so I'm sure the fans will be buzzing as well. It will be great."

Spurs are currently above the Blues in the Premier League table with a two-point cushion.
