Chelsea fans want us to derail Tottenham's title charge - hopefully we can, says Asmir Begovic

Asmir Begovic admits Chelsea plan to spoil Tottenham's chances of winning the Premier League title on behalf of their fans when the two teams meet at Stamford Bridge next week.

The reigning champions will host title-chasers Spurs on Monday with the hosts fully aware of the fact they can have a say in the title race as they also play leaders Leicester City on the final day of the campaign.

Mauricio Pochettino's side currently sit eight points behind the Foxes, although they can close that gap to five should they beat West Brom tonight, and will travel to take on Chelsea at the Bridge a week later.

Interim manager Guus Hiddink said after Chelsea's win over Bournemouth on Saturday that his team will do "everything in our power" to beat Spurs while Eden Hazard went one step further and admitted the Blues do not want to see Tottenham win the title this season.

With Chelsea fans chanting about their desire to overcome Spurs during the 4-1 win over the Cherries at Dean Court, Begovic has insisted the Blues will do their best to spoil Spurs' title charge.

"I know the fans are desperate to beat Tottenham and it's a huge game no matter what the circumstances are," Begovic told Chelsea's official website.

"We're in a position where we can have an impact and we need to put in another good performance next Monday, and this win helped for confidence reasons.

"We'll give it our best and if we carry on from today we can get a good result. It's an occasion to look forward to.

"It's difficult to get over the line when you're doing it for the first time and hopefully we can give them a big test next Monday."
