Gary Lineker quipped that he felt as though he was being "unfaithful" to Tottenham whilst watching their match against Chelsea.

LIVE: Chelsea vs Tottenham

Spurs need to win the match at Stamford Bridge to retain any hope of winning the Premier League title, with a draw or defeat meaning Leicester will be crowned champions.

Lineker played for both Leicester and Tottenham during his career but he wants the Foxes to be the ones to come out on top.

It was against that background that the Match of the Day presenter tweeted: "Never thought I'd not want Spurs to beat Chelsea. Feel like I'm being unfaithful in a way, but this will never, ever happen again."

Lineker said earlier in the season that he would present the first episode of next season's Match of the Day in just his underpants if Leicester win the league.

He revealed that Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri is not overly keen on seeing Lineker nearly naked.

"Met Claudio Ranieri after the game," Lineker wrote on Twitter after Leicester's 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday. "He said 'Gary, I don't want to see you do MOTD in your pants.' Yes you do, Claudio.
