Tottenham striker Harry Kane believes Premier League leaders and London rivals Chelsea can be caught.

The No.19 was in scintillating form throughout the Premier League clash and particularly during a first-half blitz which brought two goals for him and the team.
“It is hard to fight for the Premier League if you show that lack of desire to play for a win”.
“They were better than us and fully deserved to win”.
Pochettino questioned his side’s desire in the first half at Anfield and Lloris added: “We can not fail in this area of the game”.
“We are in a position that is up to us”. They were more aggressive after a tough few weeks.
The visitors regrouped for the second half, but could do little to truly trouble a Liverpool side determined to keep a grip on three precious points – their first since defeating Manchester City on the final day of 2016.
“Of course he is a great player but I think it is more about the team than only Sadio Mane”. We never coped with the tempo of the game. Liverpool deserve all the credit.
The problem Tottenham have is that they have a awful record against the Reds in recent times as they haven’t been on the winning side in the previous eight meetings, losing five and drawing three. If you don’t reach the same level of aggression from the beginning then something happens. It’s about balance and today our balance between play I think was poor and that is the truth.
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum insists the Reds are more than just a one-man team who are overly reliant on Sadio Mane.
The visitors’ best chance fell to forward Son Heung-min, whose fierce, angled shot was blocked by Reds keeper Simon Mignolet shortly after Mane’s second.
A run of dire performances has seen Liverpool drop from second in the table on December 31 to fifth place, with Klopp’s team winning one game in 10 in all competitions and none at all in the league since the start of the year. “That gave us a good feeling”. But we need to recover after that defeat and try to fight.
Second in the Premier League at the start of the year, Liverpool slipped to fifth following a 2-0 loss to relegation threatened Hull City last time out. We can put this club consistently in the top four and we are still involved in two cup competitions.
“We hope that as soon as possible he can be available again”.

“We need to be ready to fight because it’s a different game when you play Liverpool against Tottenham”.
