'I cannot hide my emotion for the club and I think it is going to be emotional': Pochettino on facing his former side

Mauricio Pochettino has shared his thoughts on taking on his former side Tottenham in their clash with Chelsea this evening.

The boss said that he would be emotional and would want to win the game regardless of his history with them.

"It was special when we played there because it was my first time after I left the club but now it is different.

"It is always emotional because we are going to meet people we worked with for a long period. Yes, I cannot hide my emotion for the club and I think it is going to be emotional.

"Whenever you face your former team and the history is good, the bits you remember, of course. But as I said before, it is 90 minutes, we want to win and Tottenham are going to try and win, also. It will be a good game."
