Moses targets 50th game against Spurs

Super Eagles’ mercurial midfielder, Victor Moses, is eyeing to play his 50th game in the colours of Chelsea in a London derby against Tottenham Hotspurs at the Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
“I wasn’t expecting to play as many games as I have this season but I feel I’ve worked hard on the training ground and done well,” he said.
“Because of the amount of games we’ve played, especially having joined the Europa League as well, that’s definitely helped me play more.
“If I play (against Spurs), it will be my 50th game, which is a good achievement, and I just want to keep on helping the team as best as I can.
“At this stage of the season, there’s not any time to even think about tiredness; you just need to focus on getting yourself in the right shape for the next game. Every match is important for us at the moment and we need to make sure we keep winning in order to finish in the top three, which is our aim.
“We want to be playing Champions League football next season and we’ve also got the Europa League final to come so, if we can win that as well, it will be a fantastic end to the season.”
Moses also stressed the importance of Wednesday’s clash with Spurs, where a win would give the Blues a six-point lead over their London rivals, who are currently fifth.
“It’s a massive game and the most important thing for us is to get the three points and secure our Champions League spot for next season,” declared the Nigeria international.
“It won’t be an easy game; Tottenham will come right at us but, if we can get our noses in front, score a few goals and win the game we’ll be pleased.
“Tottenham have been doing well this season and, in Gareth Bale, they have a player who’s in good form, so it’s important we stick together as a team.”
Meanwhile, Moussa Dembele is a doubt for Tottenham after he limped off during Spurs’ win over Southampton.
Chelsea have won each of their last six home games in the Premier League, while Tottenham is yet to win a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge in 20 visits.
