Tottenham are up against London rivals Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final, to be played at Wembley, on the 1st of March. English right-back Kyle Walker has insisted that Spurs will ensure they do not let the reality of playing for a piece of silverware distract them, as they have other matches to focus on before their meeting with The Blues in two and a half weeks from now. 

When speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, he said: "Obviously the Wembley game is a massive one for the club and players, and hopefully we're going to get the winners medal. But you have to be professional and we've got a lot of games left in the Premier League and games left in the Europa League. We'll take one game at a time and if we keep doing that, hopefully we will get the rewards at the end of it." 

If Spurs were to beat Chelsea in the final, they'd have won their first trophy since the 2007-08 season, where they won the Carling Cup - coincidentally beating The Blues 2-1 on the day. In their most recent encounter, Tottenham beat Chelsea 5-3 at White Hart Lane, courtesy of goals from Harry Kane (two), Danny Rose, Andros Townsend (penalty) and Nacer Chadli.
