Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says he'll accept jeers from Tottenham fans on Monday night.
It will mark the former Spurs manager's first time back at the club since his dismissal four years ago.
Asked about the boos, Pochettino said: "I am going to accept whatever they will show.
"The only difference is I didn't decide to leave. We parted ways because I was sacked. It's not a criticism of the club but that is the difference. We didn't decide to leave. Maybe we would even still be there."
Asked if he could've returned to Tottenham before taking the Chelsea job, Pochettino added: "It's a good question but it's difficult to answer.
"We were previously involved at Paris Saint-Germain but the times [Spurs were looking for a new manager] never arrived at the right moment. That is why it - going back - never happened in four years, for different reasons."
