– Tottenham have now won 17 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season; more than any other side.

As for Spurs, believes they have the potential to win the league.
“The only problem might be all the fixtures but Pochettino is experienced enough to know how to handle that”.
“It is a great game for us to play Tottenham and they will be up for it as well”.
In previous seasons there has been a certain hierarchy in the capital, with Spurs generally finding themselves below Chelsea and Arsenal, with West Ham further back.
“We only need to be focused on West Ham now and ensure we suffer as lot to win the game because they have very good players”.
So it’s imperative that whatever Alli’s fitness test says, he either plays (but not the whole match) or recovers for another big game on the weekend. But we don’t feel that.
Pochettino’s men have not lost away from home in the league since the first day of the season but they may have to do without Dele Alli at Upton Park, as the midfielder struggles to overcome a foot injury.
“It is important to keep our level, our fitness, our mentality and we’ll see what happens”. I think we’re in a good place but for us it’s always the same – to try to win the next game.
“It’s important to continue trusting what we are doing”, said the Chilean, whose side prevailed 3-1 on penalties at Wembley after the game finished 1-1 at the end of extra time.
“This is the business end of the season”.
“They have played many games but they are doing awesome”.
The club averaged a game every four days through February, and their Europa League triumph over Fiorentina in midweek has only served to add more games to a packed fixture list.
“It [Ranieiri’s comments] was a joke, I laughed a little bit”.
Manchester City’s title hopes looked to have been fatally undermined by consecutive losses to Leicester and Spurs, but although it lies nine points off the pace – albeit with a game in hand – confidence has been bolstered by Sunday’s League Cup triumph over Liverpool.

Tottenham head in to the mid-week action sitting second in the Premier League table and two points adrift of leaders Leicester City so they’ll be looking to take advantage of any slip ups from the Foxes with a positive result against West Ham tomorrow.
