London: David Luiz is ready for a battle against ‘the most physical team’ in England when Chelsea face Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final today.


Ahead of the Wembley showdown, Luiz does not believe Chelsea’s rivalry with Spurs is toxic, but admits that Mauricio Pochettino has a team of "monsters" to work with.


"For me, they are an amazing team with an amazing coach," said Luiz.

"I think it is the best physical team in the league. All the XI guys are monsters. I love that team. It will be a difficult game for us.

"We need to be ready to play against one of the best teams in this league. It will be a nice game because it is a semi-final. Chelsea also has some monsters, some ugly guys like a monster. Some guys who play like a monster, like NGolo Kante.

"Different kinds of monster. No I joke, it will be a fantastic game. Two teams in amazing shape. "It will be top quality to watch and we have to play top quality to win.

Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has revealed Gary Cahill is set to miss the semi-final after being treated for a small stone in his kidney.

Cahill was admitted to hospital on Tuesday after training and the England centre-back had tests and treatment before being released yesterday.
