Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas insists that his players will be in top form and fitness for today’s game against Chelsea, despite having played in the international break this past week.
The manager does not feel that his players will struggle for fitness against the league leaders this afternoon, and is confident of getting a result against the club that sacked him this year.
Spurs will host Chelsea at White Hart Lane today in a thrilling London derby, with both teams in impressive form and currently on a winning streak.

Tottenham experienced a mixed start to their campaign under Villas-Boas, and struggled to get results, both home and away. Many had been calling for the manager’s head after Spurs failed to win any of their first three games.
However, he has now led the club to 4 consecutive wins in the league, and has managed 14 points from 7 games. The manager looks finally to have settled in after failing to make an impact last season with Chelsea.
Several members of the Spurs squad had shipped out for international duty last week representing their respective nations for the World Cup qualifiers. Villas-Boas is however confident that all his players are in prime shape for today’s game.
He does not expect any sort of international hangovers, and said:
“I certainly don’t expect any problems. Lots of players have recovery sessions as normal. We have left them on very, very light sessions in the gym with the medical department. So we don't expect any kind of problems at the moment."
"We are still at the beginning of the league, the players haven't accumulated so much fatigue throughout the season for that to happen. We have enough time to recover the players. We should be fresh and fine and powerful in the same way."
Tottenham will be boosted by the in-from summer signings Moussa Dembele, Clint Dempsey and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 and Juan Mata.
