When the 22-year-old first faced Spurs, he struck a memorable hat-trick in north London as the Blues romped to a 4-1 victory.

Jackson acknowledged the importance of that victory and believes Chelsea will have to be at their best to replicate a similar feat at Stamford Bridge this time round.

‘It was an amazing night,’ Jackson reminisced.

‘I was still quite new and I didn’t know until I scored the hat-trick how important it was for the club. It was a big, big derby and I was very happy. Every time I sleep it’s in my head, the hat-trick. So good memories in their stadium.

‘I hope we create the same memories in our stadium. We are going to fight because London derbies are not easy.

‘Last week we lost one and we don’t want that to happen again. So we’re going to fight as a team, fight for the club, and it’s a derby that is very important for the club and the players.

‘We are going to fight for it. We will try to do it as a team, one family, and try to make the supporters happy.’

After joining last summer from Villarreal in Spain’s top flight, Jackson has reached double digits in the Premier League, scoring 13 altogether in Blue.

Comparing the differences between football in Spain and England, the forward believes he has adapted well to his new surroundings while recognising improvements can always be made.

He said: ‘It’s a bit different to Spain but I have adapted very well. The manager and club are helping me. I’m very happy but it has been difficult because we’d like to be in the top four or top three but we’re in the middle of the table at the moment.

‘We’re going to work hard to try and finish in the European places. Thankfully we’re in good shape now and I’m sure that next season will be a lot better than this one.

‘You can always improve. Even if I was scoring 30 or 40 goals I could still improve. I am going to keep working hard to improve every day and give my everything for the team and the club.’
