Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino delighted with match-winner Danny Rose

After visiting sixth-place West Ham, Spurs face a showdown with north London rivals Arsenal, but despite their walking wounded, Pochettino said: "It's easier to prepare for the West Ham game after this victory". For me, they [Leicester] are on the top and they have the pressure too like all the teams are below.

Earlier this week, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri claimed that Tottenham were the favourites to the win this year's Premier League title, but Pochettino has dismissed those claims.

They could not rise to the top with a win at Upton Park, but this most open and unpredictable of Premier League campaigns has afforded them another chance to do so within a matter of days. Games like the one Leicester had (on Saturday, when they beat Norwich 1-0), scoring in the last minute, you never know, it could be a pivotal moment for them.

"I think what a lot of people are saying about Tottenham this season, which they haven't said before, is that in the past they would have fabulous individual players but not a team".

Kelly's year long endeavor also saw him undertake several other missions including growing the first space vegetable and flower. It depends on the person and what experience they would want. "They didn't know how important it would be in the future".

Spurs, who have won their last six league encounters on the bounce, will be hoping England worldwide Dele Alli can shake off a minor foot injury to feature in tonight's crucial clash having already scored an impressive seven goals in his debut season at the club.

"We start to feel we are a real family and it's important because this is the first step to believing we can achieve big things".

The first half was easily the poorest performance we have seen from the side all season long, as the team was wholly incapable of dealing with West Ham's high press and struggled to deal with Payet's set pieces.

Tina Bae Fey has recently confirmed that the rumours, which have been doing the rounds for two years now, are indeed true.

"It's testing times at the minute and you find out how many characters you have in the squad".

The Hammers will also be eager to put a dent in Tottenham's title ambitions and Pochettino expects a hostile atmosphere in both his side's next two matches. Now we have to play the next game in a different way and get some points.

"We need to be positive", he said. He said, "My friend, we can win the league". When the team shows respect, it is not about winning or losing - it is about the respect they show for them and for the club that they play for.
