Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp claims that the club's foreign players do not understand the importance of Saturday's derby against Chelsea.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that the club's foreign players do not understand the importance of Saturday's derby against Chelsea.

Spurs travel to Stamford Bridge looking for their first league win since 1990.

"We have got a lot of foreign players here now and they get on with it," said Redknapp. "The history of the clubs is probably lost on them in all honesty.

"I come from the East End, we knew about the Arsenals, the Chelseas - we knew all the players. I don't think they do that now, not so much. And certainly the foreign players, they are not going to know.

"I think it's a disadvantage. If I asked Frank Lampard he would tell you all about players. He has been brought up with it. His dad would talk about Bobby [Moore] and all them players. It's rarer now I think."

Daniel Sturridge's goal earned Chelsea a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane when the two sides met in December.
