More from Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi on the goalkeeper choice he has to make tomorrow: "No, it is not difficult. It is easy.

Roberto De Zerbi on how much of a wake-up call the threat of relegation has been for Tottenham: "One thing at a time. Now we need to play two games and make other points to achieve our target and then is the right time to speak about problems we have had. It is not the right time to speak about that and lose energy."
On his positivity since joining: "I have just one face. I consider myself very honest as a man. I have big confidence in my players and their high qualities so I am always positive. It is not finished but I am happy for what the players have done in my time, but we need another step. We try to achieve the target tomorrow."

More from Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi on how Conor Gallagher will fare against former club Chelsea: "He is a great player, great personality. He doesn't speak too much [off the pitch] but he does on the pitch. We are lucky to have a player like this."
On Moises Caicedo, who he coached at Brighton: "Caicedo was a great player. It was a pleasure working with him, like Robert Sanchez, Levi Colwill and Joao Pedro. I think Caicedo is now one of the best midfielders in the world because he is a complete player with and without the ball. But also our midfielders are very good [Joao] Paulinha, [Rodrigo] Bentancur, [Conor] Gallagher, [Pape Matar] Sarr, [Archie] Gray, [Yves] Bissouma, [Lucas] Bergvall. I'm happy because I am working with my players."
Huge improvements under De Zerbi
Chelsea v Tottenham (Tue, 20:15 BST)
Tottenham Hotspur
It has been a difficult season for Tottenham, who are on their third manager, after Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor were dismissed.
Roberto De Zerbi has inspired a marked improvement since he was appointed at the end of March, signing a five-year contract with the club.
Spurs have taken as many points from their last four Premier League games (8 â W2 D2) as they had in their previous 17 combined (W1 D5 L11).
Theyâve only conceded one goal in the opening 45 minutes of their five games under De Zerbi, having conceded in the first half in each of their previous 11.
After their draw with Leeds last time out, De Zerbi stated: "We are good enough to stay up with these players."
'We have to show the right mentality'

Roberto De Zerbi on how confident he is in his Tottenham side: "In the last four games we made eight points and we could have made more than eight. We have to be confident and positive. We cannot forget the situation from a month ago. We are not safe yet. We have the quality, we have to show the right mentality."
'Tough stadium because Chelsea players are fantastic'

Roberto De Zerbi on playing at Stamford Bridge, where Tottenham have won just one of their last 35 league games: "It is difficult, it's a tough stadium because the players at Chelsea have been fantastic. Fantastic players and fantastic managers. They played two days ago very well, maybe they didn't deserve to lose the game. It will be a tough game for us for sure."

Roberto de Zerbi says his decision about which goalkeeper to choose on Tuesday was "not difficult".
He confirmed that Guglielmo Vicario was the club's number one, but then added it was important to asses his physical fitness.
The Italian stopped short of saying whether Vicario or reserve stopper AntonÃn Kinsky would play, but seemed to hint that the Czech number two was in a better place to start against Chelsea.

'We are close'
Bournemouth v Man City (Tue, 19:30 BST)
Bournemouth
A final word from Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola on sealing a European place: "We are close, but we still don't have it. We need one more point but it won't be easy. [Manchester] City are in good form after a trophy, they are also fighting for the league but we are ready. We are in a good place, we don't have injuries. We are looking forward to the game tomorrow."
Can Bournemouth qualify for the Champions League?
Bournemouth v Man City (Tue, 19:30 BST)
Bournemouth
Sixth-placed Bournemouth are only four points behind Liverpool, in fifth, and have a game in hand, which is against title-chasing Manchester City on Tuesday.
The Cherries only need one more point to guarantee a top-eight finish - to seal at least a place in the Conference League.
But if they do manage an upset against Pep Guardiola's City side and follow it up with a win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, they could overtake Liverpool - provided Arne Slot's side lose to Brentford on the final day.
Even if Bournemouth miss out on fifth, finishing sixth might be enough to secure Champions League football.
That is because if Villa win the Europa League and finish fifth in the Premier League, England will have six teams in the Champions League.
For that to happen, Villa would need to lose at City on the final day. A Liverpool victory against Brentford would then move the Reds above them.
However, as it stands, sixth place will seal a place in the Europa League for Bournemouth.
