Petr Cech has thrown down the gauntlet to Tottenham by claiming resurgent Chelsea are better equipped to handle the pressure of finishing in the Barclays Premier League top four.
Chelsea have qualified for the Champions League every season since 2003, with Tottenham having done so just once.
Asked if that gave his fifth-placed side the advantage, Blues goalkeeper Cech said: "I think, yes. We have been together through so many situations in eight years and a lot of people here remember those, so we have the benefit of the experience of that."
Cech added: "We seem to cope with the difficult situations quite well so, hopefully, this experience we've got throughout the years will help us reach our targets.
"We are approaching these next two games with confidence now.
"We know that this could be a fantastic two weeks of the season for us - last week and this week.
"We have already qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, we're now in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and, after these two League games, we could be third."
