Dele Alli wants Spurs to win against Chelsea

London, August 19: Dele Alli knows just how big an occasion Sunday's (August 20) Wembley meeting with Chelsea is for Tottenham as he looks to replicate his heroics from last season.

Spurs start life in their temporary home with a London derby against the reigning Premier League champions, who have had the better of their recent meetings at the national stadium, reports talksports.

"Obviously every game is important and every game means a lot to the players and the fans," he told the club's official website.

"But there's no hiding how big Sunday's match is to all of us. We've got some history with Chelsea over the last couple of years and we're going out there looking to win the game.

"Obviously we were disappointed with the FA Cup semifinal against them at Wembley, it was another cracking game, a real battle and we played very well on the day but Chelsea just had the edge. I'm sure it's going to be another great game this time."

While winning at Wembley has proved a challenge, Tottenham are unbeaten at home against Chelsea since 2012, chalking up a memorable 5-3 win in 2015 before Alli scored both goals in a 2-0 victory last season. "Without doubt that game was among my highlights of my time at Spurs," he added.

"It was such a big match, they were on a good run as well and we wanted to put an end to that. To win 2-0 and for me to score both goals was a great feeling."
