London - Tottenham Hotspur's hectic week of fixtures reaches a crescendo in the League Cup final at Wembley on Sunday against a Chelsea side that have been able to put their feet up before the first piece of domestic silverware of the season is decided.
After snatching a 2-2 draw against West Ham United last Sunday, Spurs travel to Italy to play Fiorentina in the last 32 of the Europa League on Thursday.
"It's a very busy period and difficult for the players to recover. For that (reason) we decided to stay here after the game to train (in Italy) before taking the flight to London," Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino told reporters.
