Thibaut Courtois believes Tottenham will continue to struggle at Wembley this season because it is not as intimidating as White Hart Lane.

Courtois was part of the Chelsea team which beat Spurs 2-1 on Sunday in the first ever Premier League fixture to be held at the national stadium.

Maurico Pochettino's side are having to play all their games at Wembley this term while work is completed on a new stadium at White Hart Lane.

Spurs have lost eight of their last 11 matches in all competitions at the home of English football and Courtois, who took a dig at the north London club's support, feels the poor record could carry on.

When asked if he felt like Chelsea were playing at Tottenham's home ground yesterday, he said: "No, it feels a bit different because obviously their home ground is not this one.

"They have the capacity now to bring a lot of fans into the stadium.

"If they make more noise it would be better for them but in the first half, if you have to put some noise over the speakers to make some atmosphere, I don't think it is working very well.

"In the second half they were pressing and 70,000 people started to wake up. There is obviously more than the 40,000 (36,284) at White Hart Lane.

"The only difference is that they are more separated from the pitch than at White Hart Lane, where you feel more pressure when they are pressing and the pitch is smaller - that is probably better for them."

Chelsea are used to playing at Wembley having been there 16 times in the last 10 years, beating Spurs on the last four occasions.

But Courtois feels that even teams that are not accustomed to the venue will be inspired to perform well against Spurs there.

He added: "Wembley is an amazing stadium and makes you want to play even better, it is like a Champions League game where you can rise above yourself.

"All the teams that come here, instead of being impressed (overawed) they will give more, so for Spurs it won't be easy.

"But if they have their fans, with 80-90,000 people, they can make it difficult for a lot of teams."

Chelsea also beat Spurs 4-2 in the FA Cup semi-final just four months ago, and the Belgium keeper feels they have now established a psychological edge over their rivals.

He concluded: "I think we coped well with them in the FA Cup and it is a little advantage we can have mentally over them because we won here in the FA Cup semi-final against them as well so that is good."
