Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta insists the presence of Jose Mourinho won't add an extra edge for Sunday's clash with Tottenham.
Mourinho was one of the most successful managers at Chelsea, helping Azpilicueta win one of his his two Premier League titles with Chelsea in 2015.
However, Azpilicueta has played down the significance of facing the Portuguese manager and insists their focus will be on securing three points.
He said: "That's football. I think Jose has a great history in Chelsea, but, after, football moves on. We played against him when he was in Manchester United and now he's in Tottenham.
"Obviously, we are professional and we want our team to win and, obviously, I'm sure Jose will want the same as us which is to win the game.
"Any game against Tottenham is always a big derby, we know that everybody wants to be part of it.
"Both teams, we are in really good form. Whatever happens, there is still a long season ahead, but, obviously, in such a big game like this, with both teams coming in this form, it's an important game for everybody and, hopefully, we will be at our best because we will need to be."
