What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via ESPN FC): "I think that Tottenham, from the beginning from the season, is the team that has had the fewest recovery days in all the competitions we play, but I never complain about that."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via the Daily Mail): "There is a campaign against Chelsea. In other countries where I worked before, tomorrow in the sports papers, it would be front-page scandal because it is a scandal. In this country, and I am happy with that, more than happy with that, we will just say that it was a big mistake with a big influence in the result."

Player to Watch: With rotation in mind, Chelsea's John Obi Mikel will see additional minutes on Thursday. In 12 league appearances, the 27-year-old is averaging 1.2 tackles and 1.1 interceptions.
