Chelsea have been continual winners from 1997 onwards, Cascarino told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.Chelsea were in front of Tottenham, but the last two years Tottenham have caught up.Okay, theyve not won things, but theyve been higher in the league, more stability at the club, players wanting to stay.Its more about stability [at Tottenham] and a team that is thriving.Chelsea got battered in the league game, 3-1 at Wembley.

“Tottenham go into this game favourites. I really hope that Chelsea can show a lot more.They have to put on a real performance because there is a bit of a gulf, its only four points in the league, but it feels like Tottenham are far more likely to get a Champions League spot.The Blues enter the game following a mixed run of form over Christmas.Twice they drew a blank at home in the 1-0 defeat by Leicester and 0-0 draw with Southampton and Cascarino believes they lack a cutting edge under Maurizio Sarri.Tony Casscarino is sceptical about Maurizio Sarri’s methods2

Theyre so reliant on Eden Hazard. It feels like if he doesnt score, then no one will step up to the plate,” the former Blues striker added.Cesc Fabregas was so good at what he did and was so creative.“Jorginho is good at what he does, but he doesnt really create assists for people. I watched Ross Barkley the other week and I felt sorry for him because he was clearly drilled to play the ball sideways.I want Ross having a go at people and playing with purpose and trying to hurt the opposition.“He wasnt doing that against Southampton because he was so conscious of just keeping the ball.
