Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink is full of admiration for Tottenham a nd has denied the Blues’ sole remaining motivation this season is to end their rivals’ Barclays Premier League title hopes.

Leicester need three more points to secure the championship and play at Manchester United on Sunday, before Spurs’ trip to Stamford Bridge.

The title, won by Chelsea last season, is out of Tottenham’s control, but, even if Leicester lose at Old Trafford, a defeat on Monday night would end Spurs’ hopes.

Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas have said they do not want Tottenham to win the league, but Hiddink insists the Blues will treat the contest in the same way as the following games with Sunderland, Liverpool and Leicester, who visit on the final day of the season.

“It’s not specifically (about stopping) Tottenham to make the season a success,” Hiddink said. “That’s not true. I don’t think like that. I cannot give a guarantee of results, but I can guarantee the effort will be there. Not just in Monday’s game.”

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has attracted admirers, Hiddink among them, for making Tottenham title challengers and on Friday said he intends to stay at White Hart Lane by signing a new contract until 2021.

Hiddink, who recently met Pochettino at a managers’ meeting, said: “I respect very much the work Mauricio Pochettino is doing in this club and the very calm way, knowing what he’s doing.

“I see them play in a way I like to see a team play, which is attractive. He’s doing a very good job. It’s a complete team. I’m Blue and Chelsea, but I’ve seen them play this year and I enjoy it very much. They showed this year a lot of stability. There’s never a guarantee in football, but the way they play is a way for success. They have very good balance in their team. They were fearless to go for the title. That’s admirable,” Hiddink added. “If they stay fearless, they will knock on the door (next season).”

Worra bunch of slags.
