Thomas Frank calls on Tottenham supporters with message ahead of Chelsea clash | OneFootball

North Londoners take on capital counterparts in big London derby this weekend

Spurs now host Chelsea and the club will turn off the music in the stadium five and a half minutes before kick-off in the hope that the crowd will naturally build the atmosphere.

Frank is relishing his first experience of facing the Blues as Spurs boss and hopes the home fans bring the noise.

"A game against Chelsea, especially a home game against Chelsea, under the floodlights tomorrow is going to be unique and special," Frank said.

"I can't wait for it. The players are already looking forward to it. It's a fantastic occasion.

"We need the fans behind us. I know they do everything they can to try to create even more noise, make it this very difficult place to play.

"It's between us and the fans. The best clubs, the best teams, they're united, they're together in good times and bad times. We need to perform. We need to create energy. If we can get the energy of the fans, then it's a positive reinforcement."

Spurs have taken 16 points from the 57 available at home in the Premier League. Of the teams to remain in the league since the start of last season, only West Ham have a worse record in front of their own supporters.

By contrast, Spurs are the best side away from home in the league, but Frank is confident those results on the road can be matched in north London.

"At home, I can't see why we shouldn't be able to perform and have a very good run at home," Frank said.

"We play maybe the best stadium in the world, definitely the best fans in the world and we know that the sound level in that stadium can be insane.

"So it's up to us to do that together and that is a collective effort."
