Tottenham Hotspur creative midfielder Christian Eriksen relishes derby games, but is wary of the threat that Jose Mourinho's Chelsea will pose this weekend.
Eriksen's side are scheduled to play the third of their three London derbies scheduled for the month of November this Sunday when they host defending league champions Chelsea at White Hart Lane.
For Eriksen, though it will be the fourth such derby experience, having come out of a recent Euro 2016 playoff heartbreak against neighbours Sweden at the international arena.
The match against Chelsea though will be a special occasion as Mourinho's side can always be a threat, Eriksen believes
The Lilywhites though can take confidence from their performance against the same opponents in the league last season when they came out 5-3 winners during the Pensioners' last visit to White Hart Lane in January.

Speaking about his recent experiences with derbies, the 23-year-old told his club's official website: “It’s been a month of derbies for me with Denmark v Sweden too!
“Everybody likes to play in derbies, they are more intense than other games and it’s always nice to play in matches like that, but you always have to be wary of Chelsea – no matter what position they are in.
"They were in a good spot last time we played them at the Lane and we managed to beat them, so we’ll be looking for a similar result this time.
“Chelsea have quality all over the pitch – we know that and there’s nothing new about it.
"We have to make sure we don’t make any mistakes, keep ourselves in the game for as long as possible, keep it tight and then assert our own game plan."
