Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits he's a big fan of Tottenham rival Jose Mourinho.
Ahead of Sunday's clash, Rodgers dismissed critics of Mourinho's style of play.
Asked whether there was a snobbery in England about defensive football, he said: "Yes, I think there is. As you get more experienced, you learn to respect the different ways of winning games.
"I see now the Jose I knew at Chelsea for the first time in a long time. I see a guy who really believes. He has top-class players who have clearly bought into the way he is working.
"Tottenham are renowned for playing a stylistic type of football but I am sure the supporters will be happy with the results.
"To ask players who are really talented to sometimes control the game without the ball is a challenge. Most top players want to have the ball. So that's a skill in itself, to coach and manage players that there is a different way and teach them that by playing this other way it's possible to get a result. At Tottenham, that is what you see. They have bought into it."
